A heavy drunkard and a vicious bully. Both are colossal problems. Similarly, the idea behind the latest movie Nacho Vigalondo (Timecrimes, Open Windows) that combines indie dramedy with Godzilla flick kaiju to Pacific Rim. Even at one point had touched the realm of a thriller. Colossal is none other than a modern cinema product that addresses the genre as a tool for constructing the foundation rather than the limit.…More

> It’s no easy feat to review a movie that crosses so many genre boundaries that it defies simple explanation. Colossal is part sci-fi monster movie, part quirky romantic comedy, part psychological revenge thriller and part satirical drama. If that sounds like a total mixed up jumble to you, it is. But surprisingly, it works.More
Colossal is the last monster movie you will watch when you want to watch a monster movie. If you expect a monster movie like Godzilla or Pacific Rim , this movie will provide an awkward viewing experience. The film is sort of an abnormal hybrid between fantasy and realism, a monster invasion with a personal drama. Separately, they are generic raw materials that are often used in a film, but when combined, they becom…More

Si bien la violencia no es constante, algunos de ellos son bastante chocantes: una mujer es golpeada y sometida a violencia psicológica y amenazas.

Language is strong and fairly frequent, with uses of "f k" and "s t"; there…More

When reports surface that a giant creature is destroying Seoul, she gradually comes to the realization t…More
Hoy continuo con mi ciclo particular de cine de Nacho Vigalondo y me congratulo en anunciar que la imaginación, la sorpresa y lo que en España llamamos Humor Absurdo han conquistado Hollywood, hemos exportado un tipo que va a dar que hablar, y mucho!! Voy a presentar la película a modo receta, si Vigalondo es absurdo, yo que creci con sus absurdeces mas las de Joaquin Reyes, Ernesto Sevilla, Javier Areces, Julián Ló…More
Colossal is a story about dealing with the monster within caused by alcoholism; its use of a Kaiju that wreaks havoc upon all is easy-to-understand symbolism representing the ways people can unsuspectingly hurt others through their frequent abuse of alcohol. Having been forced out of her apartment by her now former partner, Gloria (Anne Hathaway) travels back to her hometown, dreaming of a new start in life. Underst…More
