![]() I should pause here and allow that to enjoy this film, you have to accept that it unfolds in a space somewhere between dream/allegory and realistic psychological comedy and that it's never going to treat the rampage as anything other than a representation of Gloria's problems. "Colossal" doesn't send Gloria on a time-wasting journey to figure out if there's any connection between her issues and the creature's rampage instead, it spends its energy asking what such a discovery might mean to Gloria personally and how it relates to her train wreck of a personal life. Gloria returns to her hometown in upstate New York, moves into the home that her parents vacated when they moved south after their retirement, and runs into a childhood friend named Oscar ( Jason Sudeikis), who owns a local bar, a perfect place to get a job if you're an alcoholic who doesn't have two nickels to rub together.Īfter a long night drinking at the bar with Oscar and his friends Joel ( Austin Stowell) and Garth (Tim Blake Nelson), she stumbles home and wakes up to hear that a gigantic creature has attacked Seoul. There will be no second chances this time: he already packed a suitcase for her. Dan breaks up with her and kicks her out. Gloria's boyfriend ( Dan Stevens) breaks up with her after she spends all night out with reprobate friends without notifying him.
