A gift for those already in the fold, for those who get the joke and just want to savor it with other like-minded fans.Full Review

Michael O'Sullivan
Washington Post

An absorbing and inspiring portrait of two musicians whose unerring sense of what's right -- both artistically and ethically -- has not just held them in good stead but driven their particular brand of success.Full Review

Ann Hornaday
Washington Post

Schnack's sprightly, engaging documentary Gigantic takes a leisurely stroll through TMBG's career, mixing energetic live performances with smartly chosen clips, a few quirky detours, and compelling interviews with the likes of Dave Eggers, Sarah Vowell, and Ira Glass. Full Review

Nathan Rabin
The Onion (A.V. Club)

It's shiny, amusing, incessantly clever, but sometimes a tad too snarky for its own good.Full Review

Dennis Harvey
Variety

Gigantic has the informal tone and structure of an illustrated scrapbook with excerpts from concert and television performances interwoven with lighthearted testimonials by friends, supporters, collaborators and admirers and augmented by witty animated segments.Full Review
