Critic Reviews of "Giant"
Village VoiceSeptember 28, 2016Sweeping saga of American prosperity that reveals its racist underbelly; glorious star vehicle that upends rigid gender roles; modern western that questions the validity of frontier land ownership.
VarietyNovember 13, 2007An excellent film which registers strongly on all levels, whether it's in its breathtaking panoramic shots of the dusty Texas plains; the personal, dramatic impact of the story itself, or the resounding message it has to impart.
Chicago ReaderNovember 13, 2007Much of it is awful, but it's almost impossible not to be taken in by the narrative sprawl.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Stevens' sprawling epic of Texan life, taken from Edna Ferber's novel, strives so hard for Serious Statements that it ends up as a long yawn.
Hollywood ReporterJune 14, 2003A real movie is big, grand, magnificent and regales you with all the power that movies can wield upon a viewer's imagination and spirit. George Stevens' 1956 production, Giant, is a real movie.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Giant, for all its complexity, is a strong contender for the year's top-film award.
Total FilmApril 14, 2014The combination of director George Stevens and source novelist Edna Ferber, both given to expressions of overblown high seriousness, yields a long, slow, achingly self-important movie.
Film4November 13, 2007Its deeper themes and superb performances from Taylor, Hudson and Dean make it a classic Hollywood epic.
ColeSmithey.comMay 11, 2007Dean's last performance is poetry in motion.
EmanuelLevy.ComDecember 13, 2005Some critics consider Giant to too bloated and sprawling, but by its era's standards, it exposed idelogical cracks in the American Dream, the myth of melting pot, women's allotted place in society.
