Big Man

About This Movie

So, 'Big Man' is an interesting piece from 2012, directed by someone who's not well-known, which adds a layer of curiosity. The film leans heavily into the drama and family themes, showcasing Uzoma's journey through the ups and downs of playing games that, surprisingly, have heavy consequences. The atmosphere feels quite intimate, almost like you're peering into a family’s life through a keyhole. The pacing can be a bit slow at times, but it allows for some really poignant moments. There are practical effects used sparingly, which can feel refreshing given the over-reliance on CGI in many films nowadays. Performances are quite solid, capturing the essence of familial bonds and the weight of choices.
