Gloria:
[throws the bar keys towards Oscar]
Here! There are your keys; I'm not coming back to your shitty bar!
Oscar:
[picking up the keys]
Yeah you are.
Gloria:
[panting]
Oh yeah?
Oscar:
Yeah.
[Throws the keys at Gloria with enough force to hurt her]

[holding her stomach in pain]
Ow!
Oscar:
[calmly]
You're gonna keep working at the bar, or I'm gonna come back here tomorrow, and destroy an entire neighborhood.

I found "Colossal" (2016) much more interesting, dark and deep then i thought i will be after reading a premise. This isn't your typical comedy staring Jason Sudeikis - it isn't funny movie, except if you are looking for some very dark comedy.
Premise here looks like from a mind of Spike Jonze of Charlie Kaufman. Although it isn't as brilliant as those two might have made this movie - i loved the story overall and movie itself.
Ovreall, "Colossal" is a kinda fresh take on a premise. There is a very dark humor down below, but i enjoyed it very much in a first place because of very solid writing, pacing (at running time 1 h 43 min this movie never dragged) and not by "a numbers" movie. Good, underrated movie.
