Review of The Shape of Water (2017) by Sightsee — 25 Jan 2018
What a mess--slow moving, poor dialogue, dreadful editing. The story has been told before and trying to cobble together 60's America, dancing with the Beast, racism, love, hackneyed politics (Russians so stereotypical it's laughable), etc.
,etc. into one movie just doesnt work. Jenkins, a marvelous actor, says his lines without being there. The villian is at least a villian. The mute, well, gee, she doesnt talk. That leaves little else and the 60's aura and cool special effects don't save this rambling mess.
