About This Movie

The Giant (2017) offers a rather unique take on sibling dynamics against the backdrop of post-war Europe. Martin's return to his family farm is filled with a mix of nostalgia and conflict, especially as he grapples with his brother Joaquín's towering stature. The film is rich in atmosphere, capturing the essence of the era with its careful attention to detail and practical effects that lend a certain authenticity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to soak in the brothers' journey—both physical and emotional. Performances are heartfelt, especially the interplay between the brothers, which feels genuine. There's an underlying exploration of what it means to be seen, both literally and metaphorically, giving the film a distinct edge amidst its historical context.
