Description

Official synopsis:

Gloria (Anne Hathaway) parties too hard, drinks too much, and doesn’t think about the consequences — that is, until her boyfriend (Dan Stevens) gets sick of her behaviour and throws her out.[3] Unemployed and with nowhere to live, Gloria heads back to her hometown and rekindles a friendship with childhood chum Oscar (Jason Sudeikis), who now runs his dad’s old bar. Dreams of a fresh start are dashed when Gloria slides back into old habits: she drinks till last call every night with Oscar and his cronies (the hilarious Tim Blake Nelson and Austin Stowell), she stumbles home each night via a playground-sandbox shortcut, and she sleeps through each day till it’s time to drink again.

And then one day she emerges from her haze to the news that a giant monster is stomping its way through the panicked metropolis of Seoul.

It’s clear that Gloria has awakened to a different world. But what remains for her (and us) to discover is how the real-life monster movie taking place halfway across the world might be somehow connected to her — and how her own small world is about to become stranger still.

Reception

Colossal currently has a 77% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 31 reviews.[4] The site's Critical Consensus reads, "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."

Lawsuit

Voltage Pictures was sued by Toho Company Ltd. over the film for allegedly infringing on Toho's ownership of Godzilla. When pitching the film, Voltage frequently referred to Godzilla and even described Colossal as a Godzilla film in interviews. In addition, Voltage included images of Godzilla from Legendary Pictures' 2014 film in concept artwork and posters for the film.[5] The legal dispute was eventually settled, with Voltage removing any similarity to Godzilla from the film.
