	Author	Review
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"Sensitive and attractive (...) Though it pays considerable attention to its protagonist, Walter's film (...) never fully convinces us of her reality."	NEU
United Kingdom	Allan Hunter Screendaily	"The result is a sweetly imaginative, tenderly played coming of age drama (...) Director Anders Walter’s feature debut is funny and touching"	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Magical, subtle, sensitive and touching (...) [It] is virtually tone perfect (...) Thinly plotted but beautifully executed"	POS
United States	April Wolfe Village Voice	"Wolfe is a talent, simultaneously tough and tender in her performance (...) [It displays] phenomenally breathtaking CGI animation"	POS
United States	Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times	"Assured, compelling filmmaking, with a complex performance by Madison Wolfe (...) 'I Kill Giants' isn't afraid to tackle the darkness or rage of little girls, or their fear and pain"	POS
United States	Katie Rife AV Club	"Sappy but effective (...) The metaphor of 'monsters = personal tragedy' isn’t fleshed out enough to provide any real surprises"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"A ginormous waste of time (...) Of minuscule interest (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"	NEG
Ireland	Graham Scannain	"A wonderful marriage of director and writer understanding the source material and transferring that to the big screen (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
