Review of The Shape of Water (2017) by M J — 02 Jan 2018
This film is beautiful. The cinematography, set design, the music... Guillermo del Toro is firing on all cylinders here. With great performaces from Sally Hawkins, Doug Jones, Michael Shannon and Michael Stuhlbarg, this film delves deep into themes of loneliness and what it means to be a good person.
The romance is wonderfully contrasted against Strickland's (MIchael Shannon) cruel and unhinged behavior. Overall, one of the best movies of 2017.
