Imagine the scene: you and your significant other are sitting down together for an evening in front of a movie but can't decide what to watch - you have your heart set on Manchester by the Sea, with its downbeat, naturalistic tale of small-town lives blighted by alcoholism. They, on the other hand, want to watch Terror of Mechagodzilla, a garish, barely coherent story about giant monsters battling equally big robots. What to do? Worry no more: here comes Colossal, to satisfy you both.

I mean, you have to admire a film for attempting to do something a little bit different, and this is certainly that, and good performances from the leads and an inventive script initially make this a refreshingly original film. In the end though, the sheer oddness of it, a problematic tonal inconsistency, and unconvincing characterisations mean that it doesn't quite hang together or completely satisfy. Still worth a look for sheer novelty value.
