- 90The New York TimesDavid DeWittThe New York TimesDavid DeWittA mindblower of a mockumentary, Colossus will leave you reeling in the best of ways, dizzy from a rock ’n’ roll Tilt-A-Whirl that swirls with duplicity and hilarity.

- 10The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThis stupefying dull mockumentary purports to explore themes of media manipulation and political propaganda, but whatever points it’s attempting to make are buried amidst the ponderous goings-on that will result in a quick exit from theaters.
