3/4
"Giant is a gentle monstrosity."  Film Freak Central  Bill Chambers

3.5/5
"Dean (in one of 3 roles on film) makes quite an impression, and Taylor reminds us why we ever liked her to begin with."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

1/4
"For a reason I cannot fathom, Giant still has a reputation as a fine film, and it will no doubt go on boring audiences forever and a day."  Slant Magazine  Dan Callahan

81/100
"An uneven, but satisfying variation on the traditional western."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

"Offers a lively portrait of a marriage that weathers all storms and evolves over time into something more than it was at the outset."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"Although Giant may not be a classic in the purest sense of the word, it's a fine example of a virtually-extinct genre."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

B-
"remains an entertaining film for many of its small moments"  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

3/5
"Entertaining in a big-movie way, but very, very long; many scenes are expendable."  eFilmCritic.com  Rob Gonsalves
