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.

Such a pleasant surprise. Featuring great performances by Hathaway and Sudeikis, it moves seamlessly and often stunningly from breezy, humorous and even romantic to intriguing, unsettling and poignant. It deals with some heavy topics in a way that's so creative, unexpected and out-there but at the same time realistic and respectful to its main character and the essence of the film. It's laudable how, within all the screenwriting twists and stylistic turns, it never loses sight of what matters.

First, you have to suspend your disbelief and enter the world of this movie. This is a world where a woman must overcome her demons, see the lack of love in her life and her effect on others before she can learn her own value and power. It's also about masks, jealousy and coping mechanisms. I'm not a fan of monster movies but I appreciate the story arc, atmosphere and acting.
