Review of The Shape of Water (2017) by Jnotr — 06 Feb 2018
It's a rare movie, that's why I find it difficult to analyze it. From the technical point of view it is excellent: cinematography, production design, makeup, soundtrack and the atmosphere of the 50's. But as for the script and the performances, I thought it was bad. The script, at first is too slow and takes time to establish the main plot, but at the end (in the last 15 minutes) everything is solved fast and forced. The only act that I came to like was that of Sally Hawkins; Octavia Spencer makes the same character that she always does, nothing special and Richard Jenkins too.
Personally I did not like it. I hope he does not take the Oscar for Best Movie.
