truly mesmerizing fantasy movie epic in style and as a story. really enjoyed it
Guillermo Del Toro once again brings his love for monster horror and makes it naturally sweet. What this film does is develop certain characters scene by scene, in no small part by the performances by Sally Hawkins, Richard Jenkins, and especially Doug Jones as the one creature. And the heavy-handed Cold War ideas that were prevalent make it all the more fitting for the chance to sympathize - and fall in love - with what is essentially a B-movie monster.
A cherish-able treat for film fans. This entrancing visual spectacle bubbles with a delightful mystery. It celebrates love and individual difference through the well-told story's wholesome characters, all superbly performed.
Beautiful movie well crafted a fairytail on an adult level!
Rarely, a movie so bizarre, so dark sometimes and so fantastic like only Guillermo del Toro can do, can be simultaneously so romantic and beautiful. "The Shape of Water" is one of the most beautiful romances f 2017 and of the decade. Del Toro shined in the direction chair and created one of his best. Sally Hawkins plays one of the most passionate characters of the year, Michael Shannon is just pure evil, Richard Jenkins is extremely kind and Octavia Spencer is absolutely hilarious. A Cold War drama like we never watched before. Love each other, people!
The Shape of Water tells a beautiful story that breaks your heart and heals it. It is a little on the nose, with cut-out-for-children morals and almost caricatures of characters, but it WORKS.
Excellent extremely well acted and completely bonkers at the same time. Well worth a watch..
Guillermo Del Toro has captured the sensation of loneliness. Sally Hawkins dazzles with a rare grace and Doug Jones radiates as always. Together, mixed with the outstanding score from Alexander Desplat, they wordlessly and beautifully guide us from scene to scene.
I thought beastiality is illegal and should not be promoted...? What else is sex with different species? This is supposed to be romantic? Would it be romantic for the people who gave this insane creepy movie 5 stars even if she had sex with lab dog?
What drugs does the director do?
