Review of Colossal (2017) by Dawdlingpoet — 23 Nov 2021

This is a very quirky film. Its categorised as a comedy drama fantasy film but I wouldn't really say there's much comedy in it - its more a drama, with a fantasy angle to it. Its not a fantasy film like, say, Labyrinth or something like that. Its a bit hard to categorise I guess but in any case, it features some pretty decent CGI effects and the plot was so quirky that it certainly kept me intrigued throughout. I thought Anne Hathaway gave a pretty decent performance.

I'd say this is a film about denial and the impact that can have on others. Its hard to comment too much on it without giving obvious spoilers. Its a pretty memorable film I reckon, one of those kind of films that may leave you wondering about and analysing some aspects of it. I wouldn't say its exactly an awe-inspiring or excellent film as such but its certainly worth a watch regardless and so yes, I'd recommend it.
