Stilted writing and acting... contribute to an air of studied inscrutability that grows tiresome even over the course of a compact 80 minutes. Full Review

3 stars out of 4 -- Familiar, even universal issues of growing up, identity, and intimacy are presented with a lyrical, dreamlike tone.

The visuals in this drama -- set in an unspecified Southern locale of deep green forests, stately white houses and dingy convenience stores -- are confident, sometimes ravishing...

Rating: B- -- Director Grear Patterson and cinematographer Hunter Zimny are talents to watch, as they have made a stylistic-if somewhat derivative-first feature. Full Review

Although the film isn't in a particular rush to get anywhere, and only a few sequences involving prom and drugs and abuse are even vaguely reminiscent of conventional plotting, it's never less than engrossing. Full Review

"Giants Being Lonely" may not add much to the landscape of coming-of-age dramas, yet the preciseness of its impressionism results in a striking atmosphere of hormones and vulnerability. Full Review

Product Description:

As a brilliant pitcher, Bobby (Jack Irving) is the main reason why his high school baseball team, the Giants, is experiencing immense success and popularity. Because of that, everyone in their small town considers him a hero. His less stellar teammate, Adam (Ben Irving), doesn't receive the same kind of treatment, and instead, is miserable due to being the son of the team's brutal coach (Gabe Fazio). He pines over Caroline (Lily Gavin), but she, like many others, longs for the star player. Giants Being Lonely marks the directorial debut of mixed-media artist Grear Patterson.
