What to Know

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.

K. Austin Collins The Ringer Colossal feeld like something of a liberatory tale. Aug 10, 2017 Full Review Angie Han 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 Jun 13, 2017 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times A dazzlingly original fantasy conceit, worked to perfection. Rated: 4/5 Jun 6, 2017 Full Review Ankit Ojha 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 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review 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. Feb 6, 2024 Full Review 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 May 12, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I like weird kaiju movies. I like movies about people having a mid-life crisis. Somehow, this is the perfect marriage of both. I know there are people who won't enjoy this movie, which I totally get. But Colossal, surprisingly, has become one of my comfort films Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Stewen G Missed the first 30 minutes, but turns out I didn't miss much. Movie kept me interested the whole way through and I loved the ending. Good CGI, too. Didn't expect to like it but I thought it was alright! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/24 Full Review Eye C 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 10/12/24 Full Review Jani L It could’ve been great but instead held itself hostage for too long. Still nice but sadly underperforming it’s great premises. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Maja G It was an very interesting movie and overall good to watch. The character of Gloria has development in the movie and is well written. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Regal R 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. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
