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).

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.
