WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

After being dumped by her boyfriend Tim (Stevens), alcoholic writer Gloria (Hathaway) returns to her childhood town where she reunites with her former best friend Oscar (Sudeikis). As Gloria spends her days getting drunk and depressed, news comes in about a giant monster that has suddenly started attacking the city of Seoul in South Korea – and that somehow, Gloria is the one controlling it with her every move…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

A bizarre but heartfelt alternative to the giant monster movie, Colossal is at its bitter core a tale of a woman coming to terms with her troubled self and the people she is constantly destroying around her.
