Review of The Shape of Water (2017) by Blossom — 02 Mar 2018
The only negative thing I have to say is that it never came to a theatre near me so I had to watch it at home.
This movie was gorgeous and it's everything I've come to expect from Guillermo del Toro. I love anything monster-related and no one tells those stories better right now.
I also can't believe a scene about an egg almost made me cry, I mean, come on! I also was very happy to see a disabled protagonist in this movie. I think ASL is beautiful and I hope to see more movies feature characters in films who communicate in ASL. The way the movie handled Elisa's communicating, between subtitles and characters who would verbally interpret what she was signing, was incredibly well done. The only thing that could have made this better, in my opinion, and, don't get me wrong, Sally Hawkins is fantastic in the role, but I would really have loved if a mute actress had been given the opportunity to play Elisa.
