Review of The Shape of Water (2017) by Kiank — 04 Jan 2018
This movie is a little weird, there is no denying that but it is also romantic and visually captivating. The main character, played by Sally Hawkins, is mute and she able to find love with this sea creature because of their shared mutism.
While the premise may seem weird, the story is conveyed in a romantic and cute way that captivated me throughout. The main villain wasn't very complex but the actor did a good job making a new hated villain.
Moreover, Hawkins' character's neighbor is a homosexual struggling artist who truly was "born in the wrong time." I loved seeing him and Sally's character interact, and their relationship overall was sweet.
Octavia Spencer and Sally Hawkins also have great on screen chemistry and I love seeing Spencer, one of my favorite actresses, in a science fiction movie. The ending was quite intense but it left me satisfied.
Overall, I would give it an 8.9.
