Anne Hathaway’s R-Rated Sci-Fi Horror Is Now Streaming On Netflix & She Recommends Everyone Finally Watch It: “No One Saw It”

by

Anne Hathaway’s intense, R-rated sci-fi horror film is now available on Netflix. The actress has said she believes the movie didn’t get the attention it deserved.

Anne Hathaway is a versatile actress who has successfully moved between different genres, from comedies like The Devil Wears Prada to the science fiction film Interstellar. She first became widely known after starring in Disney’s The Princess Diaries movies in 2001, and later won an Academy Award in 2012 for her supporting role in Les Misérables.

Anne Hathaway’s quirky and funny movie, Colossal, is now available on Netflix. While critics generally liked the 2016 film – it has an 82% rating on Rotten Tomatoes – it didn’t attract a large audience when it was first released. Hathaway is hoping more people will enjoy it now that it’s streaming.

When it was released in 2017, the film was a huge commercial success, breaking box office records and proving that independent, low-budget films can achieve mainstream popularity with a strong vision.

Jk, no one saw it 😂

It’s now available on Netflix! If you’re interested, 2026 might finally be the year Colossal gets the recognition it deserves. It’s a funny, quirky, and surprisingly clever film – at least, that’s my opinion, and it seems most critics agree (82% positive on Rotten Tomatoes).

Hope you give it a go! Stay weird! 😈 🫶”

The film Colossal received positive attention for its unique approach to a story about overcoming personal struggles using the metaphor of giant monsters. The main character, Gloria (played by Anne Hathaway), is battling alcoholism and feelings of being out of control, which are impacting her relationships. After a fight with her boyfriend, Tim (Dan Stevens from Legion), she returns to her hometown.

Back in her hometown, she reconnects with an old friend named Oscar (Jason Sudeikis) who offers her a job at his bar. The story starts like a typical drama about battling addiction, but it quickly turns into a science fiction tale when she discovers her nighttime actions at a playground are somehow creating a giant monster that’s attacking Seoul, South Korea.

The movie’s unique idea initially impressed both critics and viewers. While it had a strong debut at the Toronto International Film Festival, its performance in regular movie theaters wasn’t as successful as the filmmakers had expected.

Hathaway discovered the project when she felt creatively adrift. After Jonathan Demme showed her Ben Wheatley’s film, A Field in England, she began looking for similar scripts. She was particularly drawn to Colossal’s unique blend of genres and its emotionally resonant story.

Anne Hathaway delivers a powerfully realistic performance as Gloria, capturing the harsh realities of addiction. The developing relationship between her character and Oscar, played by Jason Sudeikis, reflects the unhealthy dynamics often seen in relationships affected by addiction and abuse. Despite the film’s unusual story, its focus on serious issues keeps the dramatic climax feeling authentic and impactful.

Kristy Puchko from ScreenRant interviewed director Nacho Vigalondo at SXSW in 2017. Here’s what he shared:

This movie is very personal and based on my own life experiences. I often see myself in the main character, almost like I’m stepping into her shoes and feeling what she feels. Especially at the beginning, when she’s struggling to stay in control, I could really relate – though my situation wasn’t exactly the same. The male character also reflects a side of me, but it’s a part I don’t necessarily want to portray.

I’ve realized writing is like having a conversation with my own inner struggles. It’s fascinating to put different sides of myself – the flawed parts, really – into conflict on the page. For me, it’s a powerful way to understand what’s going on inside. And honestly, it feels like a way to turn personal exploration into something creative and worthwhile. If I’m feeling down or struggling with self-doubt, writing lets me work through it and maybe even create something others can connect with.

Art can fix you.”

The film Colossal was a deeply personal project for both its director and lead actress, exploring themes of emotional release through art. Many who watched connected with the main character’s journey and the idea of confronting one’s own imperfections. You can now watch it on Netflix.
