	Media	Author	Review
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"Pleasantly charming but instantly forgettable (...) Replete with eye-roll-inducing contrivances and heavy-handed symbolism"
		John Anderson Variety	"[It] will meet most audiences' standards for 'charming,' offering up a gentle love story between committed nonconformists, as well as solid performances"
		The Hollywood Reporter	"A romance whose anodyne find-your-bliss theme is likeable but underwhelming, Lee Kirk's 'The Giant Mechanical Man' doesn't fully exploit its premise's charms"
		R. Kurt Osenlund Slant	"So much of Kirk’s triumph is in the telling—in his handling of tone, tableaux, and acting talent (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Gabe Toro IndieWire	"Deeply insufferable (...) Nauseating."
