Review of The Shape of Water (2017) by Josie D — 30 Mar 2018

I absolutely loved this movie. The soundtrack as well as the visuals were, as expected from Del Toro, beautiful.

I went into the movie not knowing it was one of his movies, but later I was not suprised in the least. Stylistically it was very similar to Pan's Labyrinth. Those two movies, even if very different story wise, conveyed a similar kind of feeling.

If you liked one of them, I'm certain you'll like the other as well.

I can understand that some might found it a tad too long but I didn't feel that a single scene wasn't necessary for the story as a whole.

Which is why for me it's one of the best movies that came out in 2017.
