	Author	Review
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"This is a confidently shot and beautifully acted story that manages to transcend quite a few — if clearly not all — of the coming-of-age genre’s cliches"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"[It finds] some emotional truth in potentially familiar scenes. Even when characters behave predictably (...) there’s a rawness to the portrayals that feels appropriate to these teenage characters."	POS
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"[It is] polished and lively, with just enough fresh angles to avoid feeling like a rote recycling of gay cinema tropes"	POS
Canada	Brad Wheeler The Globe and Mail	"[A] tender but untimid drama (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"[Behrman] deals with emotional scarring in an impressively sensitive way (...) By intentionally withholding any concrete answers, Behrman lends their adolescence an authenticity rarely seen."	POS
United States	Teo Bugbee The New York Times	"'Giant Little Ones' features strong performances (...) The film’s saving grace turns out to be the range of experiences that Franky and Ballas are allowed to explore."	POS
