Reviews

‘Tender, moving and exciting for kids (and their secretly tearful parents).’
★★★★
Kate Muir, The Times

‘The Iron Giant captures and crystallizes its source material’s anxious, humane spirit. It might be the most empathetic and exhilarating mainstream American animated feature ever made.’
Adam Nayman, The Ringer
