Review of The Shape of Water (2017) by Richard C — 23 Dec 2017
The Shape of Cliche. Can't believe this totally predictable, schmaltzy rehash of twenty other movies got high audience reviews. The entire thing felt like it was thrown together in a week from a grab bag of cliches--not an original idea in it.
And after you think the saccharine can't be piled on any higher in this long, drawn out mess, we get a POEM at the end--the narrator just can't shut up. All I can say is I guess most of the viewers didn't see the twenty other movies this one stole from.
Maybe this could work for children, but sex with a reptile? I don't think so. Hollywood, get a grip, you have lost all touch with reality.
