Great film. Delicious in shooting rythm and feeling. Beautiful history of Basque country characters deciding to succeed In the rest of Spain and even Protugal and France. All languages mixed like in real life then. Please have a look at "Loreak" if you wanted this one.

All in all the movie was average movie. This film could have use some more human emotions, and then the audience could feel a strong connection with giant.

The script was also average. With some little more emotional connections with different characters could made the script a whole lot better. Throughout the film it seemed that the characters are slightly detached from each other, which made the film a bit less enjoyable. Performance of the characters was a bit of stale; there was no extraordinary performance.

As far as the story goes, one can try the film in a slow evening when there is nothing to do.

A sad and depressing story, but one that captivates and moves the viewer.

It's depressing in a good way... It's interesting, slow paced, you can't expect much from this movie but it's amusing. I watch TONS of Netflix movies / series etc and when you don't have many options left, it's entertaining. If you watch it at night you will probably fall sleep really fast but it's ok haha

I get the reviewers here who don't get the touching nature of the presentation of the characters. The apparent limited warmth between the family members, called "salt taste" by one of the reviewers here, is Basque. I'd say that's the way they appear to us outsiders, that this is look into what makes the Basque culture unique is revealing.

I found the film visually stunning, the characters facinating, deep and wonderfully challenging to get to know. Here, a faithfully Basque presentation.

A an experience I hope I never forget.

Watched with Spanish dub and English subtitles.
