An 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.

Top Critic Its deeper themes and superb performances from Taylor, Hudson and Dean make it a classic Hollywood epic.

Much of it is awful, but it's almost impossible not to be taken in by the narrative sprawl.

Stevens' 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.

Modern critics consider Giant to be a bloated, sprawling, and pretentious saga, but by the era's standards, it exposed idelogical cracks in the American dream, such as the myth of melting pot and women's anxiety over their allotted place in society.

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.

A decent sprawling family epic. Surprised somebody hasn't remade it for television.

A 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.
