Gloria is an out-of-work party girl who leaves New York and moves back to her hometown after getting kicked out of her apartment by her boyfriend. 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.

Colossal feeld like something of a liberatory tale.

Slashfilm

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

Rated: 7/10

Irish Times

A dazzlingly original fantasy conceit, worked to perfection.

Cinema Elite

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.

Rated: 4.5/5

Anthony McGlynn

Vague Visages

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.

Patrick Cavanaugh

The Wolfman Cometh

Hooks you in with something quirky and inventive, only to show you how incredibly human it is, displaying the gamut that interpersonal relationships can run in the adult world.

Rated: 5/5

A weird movie about alcoholism and kaijus… because why not… in the context of the movie it’s interesting, although… weird…

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

It could’ve been great but instead held itself hostage for too long. Still nice but sadly underperforming it’s great premises.

It was an very interesting movie and overall good to watch. The character of Gloria has development in the movie and is well written.

30/100 - i am at a loss for words. this film is just terrible. with 2 A-list celebrities as the main characters I had such high hopes for what seemed like a goofy movie premise, but alas I was let down. The plot is so bad, so many continuity errors, the twists are unentertaining and unbelievable. id honestly recommend not watching it, save your time. there are so many other good films to watch, this is not one of them.

At first glance, it didn't look like much - a little weird actually, But without giving anything away, once I started thinking about what I was seeing, I grasped both the psyxhological and entertainment value. And, of course, Anne Hathaway was her usual great self. I loved it so much that I bought the DVD to keep and have re-watched it a couple of times so far. If enough people would actually see it, Colassal has the ability to become as big a cult classic as Rocky Horror Picture Show, but without the music.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
