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.

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.

I'm not sure what the movie was about. Maybe some allegory about abusive relationships? If it had been a better film, I might have tried harder to search for a message. Of course, if it had been a better film, I wouldn't HAVE to search for the message.
