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.

Colossal feeld like something of a liberatory tale. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

4/5
Wholly original and downright weird on many fronts, “Colossal” is the most eccentric monster movie you may ever see. Go to Full Review
Ankit Ojha Cinema Elite 07/09/2024
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. Go to Full Review
Anthony McGlynn Vague Visages 02/06/2024
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. Go to Full Review

Southern G. @SouthernGirl 1d I think this is the dumbest movie I ever saw See more mel f @Hue23 1d One of the worst movies I’ve watched in my whole life time. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, its a waste of time. See more Kim P 2d 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. See more Cork B 2d Kinda weird. I don't recall this coming out. Hathaway is good as always. Sudekis is... well, I think him being a creepy dork is completely plausible, but he is not threatening at all. The movie comes off as kids working out their kid problems but telescoped through the monster thing (which is interesting if completely bonkers). There are a TON of logical problems, and the characters aren't likeable... even Hathaway's character. See more Brandon W @Bwilkes 3d It's so bad it's funny See more STEPHEN P @IslandAdventurer 5d A fun show! Of course, it is SciFi, so it has license to do what it want with reality. Fun premise and plot! See more Read all reviews
