Cinephile No. 576 "Sleeping Giant"
Your formal education may have occurred during the school year, but every kid I knew truly grew as a person during the summer and "Sleeping Giant" proves it. In the same manner as the three boys at the heart of this film, summer was a time to be with your friends, often unsupervised. It was when you tested your limits, experimented, and succumbed to peer pressure. In those three months, you became something new... something different. While our consequences and actions were rarely as severe as those portrayed in this film, our change was no less dramatic. For all of these reasons and many more, I cannot recommend this film enough.
Be good to each other,
