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.

Reviews

Ars Technica

Nathan Mattise

Anne Hathaway + kaiju monster = awesome film (though in ways you may not expect).

It makes for a captivating watch; one that has you cheering for the most bizarre things by the end. But cheer you will.

Battleship Pretension

Ian Brill

The emotional and logical parts of the film come together for an ending worthy of its brash concept. It cements the film as a winner overall, even if it has some trouble achieving all its aims.

With Colossal, the best advice I can give is for you to know nothing about it going in, stick with it, and bask in this film's brilliant originality.

In terms of an overall package, few films are as uniquely and inventively poignant as Colossal.

Common Sense Says

Amazing, quirky sci-fi movie has drinking, language.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Colossal is an unusual sci-fi/fantasy/comedy/drama that could almost qualify as surreal. While violence isn't constant, some of it is quite shocking: A woman is beaten up and subjected to psychological violence and threats. There's also fantasy violence -- giant monsters attack, and the military fires on them. A subplot also involves bullying. Language is strong and fairly frequent, with uses of "f--k" and "s--t"; there's also brief sexual innuendo. Characters drink heavily and often, getting very drunk and suffering hangovers and blackouts. Though alcoholism isn't discussed, drinking is part of how the plot is triggered. A character is accused of using cocaine, and some smoking is shown. For the right viewers, this movie will definitely be a memorable experience -- perhaps even a cult favorite in the making. Anne Hathaway and Jason Sudeikis co-star.
