On Giant's Shoulders Audience Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
