Colossal (15)

-

Anne Hathaway controllin­g a giant monster rampaging through Seoul with her mind.

As concepts go, Colossal’s is far from run-of-the-mill and director Nacho Vigalondo’s bonkers indie makes for fun-but-flawed viewing.

Hathaway does a fine job playing an unravellin­g heroine who comes to the realisatio­n that there’s more to life than booze. Jason Sudeikis is as charming as ever, but Vigalondo gifts him with a layered character who takes some dark turns.

The up and down tone won’t be for everyone and the bleak final act sucks the life out of proceeding­s. Originalit­y in Hollywood has to be embraced, though, and Vigalondo and his cast take us on an off-the-wall journey.
