When news reports surface that a giant creature is destroying Seoul, South Korea, Gloria gradually comes to the realization that she is somehow connected to this far-off phenomenon. As events begin to spiral out of control, she must figure out why her seemingly insignificant existence is having such a colossal effect on the fate of the world.

Critics Consensus

Colossal's singular strangeness can be disorienting, but viewers who hang on may find that its genre-defying execution -- and Anne Hathaway's performance -- is well worth the ride.

7/10

Vigalondo's strong vision, along with sensitive work by Hathaway and Sudeikis, ensures that Colossal never feels like anything other than completely itself.

4/5

Wholly original and downright weird on many fronts, “Colossal” is the most eccentric monster movie you may ever see.

4.5/5

Nacho Vigalondo’s latest is a film that’s equal parts indie rom-com, psychological horror, and monster-movie seems never to miss a single step.

Introduced as the classic nice guy, Oscar’s arc is not only an ideal foil for Gloria’s journey, but forms the reactive core of the film’s biting take on gender and ego.

I got the point of this one but it felt too extreme and over the top to hit the mark. I'm okay with unlikable main characters but it still felt like Jason's character was SO unlikable he was basically evil and that felt too jarring without building up to it.

Colossal is surprising as hell, and not in a bad way. The film manages to balance a grounded story with an Avengers-level threat in such a unique manor. The main character has some very nice development, and the plot is original as hell. I question the point of the side characters, but I think how the film closes—and how the protagonist grows as a character—leaves Colossal with minimal flaws that are often outshined by its strengths.

Colossal subverte o gênero de monstros ao trocar a destruição em massa por um estudo íntimo sobre trauma e masculinidade tóxica. O filme brilha ao usar a escala épica do kaiju como metáfora para o impacto devastador que vícios e abusos pessoais causam em quem está ao redor. Em resumo, é uma obra corajosa que utiliza o fantástico para dissecar feridas humanas muito reais, provando que os verdadeiros monstros nem sempre têm trinta metros de altura.

! SPOILERS! i need to rant about this movie Its a cool plot and is a very intriguing but I genuinely hate Oscar like I understand he is a bunhole but when watching the movie he just comes off as cruel for what reason?? oh he hates himself big whoop. why does he have to destroy Korea and gloria? seriously just because he is an orphan and anne hathaway doesnt wanna get with him doesn't mean he has to kill families in Seoul. i hate oscar he is not enjoyable and is again just cruel. coolish movie, terrible TERRIBLE MAN.
