The movie looked and sounded really good, had great acting and music, but there were a few subplots and characters that were unnecessary and caused the film to be good and not great. The ending is beautiful, one of the best I have seen in a movie. As other reviewers have said, skip the book and watch the movie.

I recently watched this Bigfoot indie film and came away impressed with the production. It is a pretty impressive film considering the movie was so low-budget. The positives of the film include the acting from most of the main cast, the outstanding music that really enhanced many of the scenes, and the cinematography. There are two parts of the film that are simply amazing, those being a sequence in the middle where each of the three main characters are confronted by someone close to them and the ending which is more than satisfying. No matter what someone thinks of the rest of the movie, the ending is worth the watch. Bigfoot fans will enjoy the way the creature is portrayed throughout the film but the viewer does not know if a real Sasquatch is in it until the very end. The negatives of the film include inconsistent performances from the supporting actors though none could be described as being bad, a character that takes up too much screen time but is well-played by the actor, some stiff and cliched dialogue, and redundancy in a few of the scenes in about the first thirty minutes. A Wish for Giants is definitely worth viewing, especially for Bigfoot fans.

I really liked this one! The Bigfoot as a sick girl's dying wish was a neat twist, the two lead actresses did a great job, it looks slick with a distinctive visual style and the music really adds to the overall film. A few criticisms would be some of the supporting actors seemed like they were just randomly pulled off of the street and the Derrick subplot gets a little ridiculous, even for a Bigfoot movie, but all-in-all it's easy to see that this indie was guided by a competent director with a passion to bring the most out of the story while keeping the pace even and shortcomings well balanced and in check.This film should do well in festivals and have no problem landing on streaming, so give it a watch if you get the chance - it's well worth your time!

As an independent film, A Wish for Giants pulls from local resources and talent from the western pa region and deploys a fast-paced family-oriented film that stirs the heart. It may not win any academy awards, but the story theme and combined talent make this a proud win for western pa...definitely a must-see!
