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.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 9, 2024

Introduced as the classic nice guy, Oscar鈥檚 arc is not only an ideal foil for Gloria鈥檚 journey, but forms the reactive core of the film鈥檚 biting take on gender and ego.

| Feb 6, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 5/5 | May 12, 2023

The kaiju began as a metaphor but the way Nacho Vigolando turns it on his head with the personal struggles beset by alcoholism is funny and unnerving in equal measure. Anne Hathaway & Jason Sudeikis give career performances here.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 29, 2022

Colossal is unique and admirable for its ambition, making it even more disappointing that it fails to put its concept and characters to better use.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 4, 2022

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.

| Jul 6, 2021

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 15, 2021

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

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 24, 2020

The genre mix doesn't feel organic, the changes in tone are abrupt and the message it's trying to convey is unclear. [Full review in Spanish]

The second half exceeds expectations, but does so in a way that you probably wouldn't foresee.

| Jul 1, 2020

It's the more intimate and more vulnerable moments that I found most inspiring here, especially in the context of what could have easily been a dopey, escapist kaiju film.

| May 5, 2020

[A] delightfully goofy and surprisingly dark rumination on interpersonal possessiveness and personal responsibility.

| Mar 26, 2020

Colossal is a marvelous examination of interpersonal dysfunction, the kind of thing we have come to expect from indie films about middle America.

| Feb 29, 2020

...if you're one of those people who complains that Hollywood keeps making the same movie, put your money where your mouth is. Go see Colossal.

| Feb 19, 2020

Wow, this is a creative twist on a very serious subject. Anne Hathaway is fantastic in her quirky role.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 24, 2020

Colossal's gimmick is gigantic, but the meat of this fascinating little picture is the interactions of a pair of ordinary, down-on-their-luck people just trying to create lives that make sense.

| Jan 15, 2020

A sometimes baffling whirlwind of clashing tones, all of which are influenced (or directly lifted) from vintage cinema.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 8, 2019

This has a well structured plotline that mixes dysfunctional people, friendships, monster flicks, and comedy.
