Review of The Shape of Water (2017) by Fiabeg — 09 Jan 2018

There are many people who suffers from sexism, racism, homophobia or a disability. On the other hand there are people who behave as white male supremacists. Del Toro shows us some of these two different groups of people, how they live their different situations and how they deal with them.

But Del Toro goes beyond. He ads a third category, a non human creature. And show us the different way the two groups relate with this creature. The result is the confrontation of values like compassion, solidarity and love vs oppression, brutality and sense of superiority.

This is a wonderful movie. Sally Hawkins acting is extraordinary. Don’t miss it, you will enjoy it very much.
