  The Shape of Water 2017

  ★★★★½ Watched 21 Nov 2017

  One of those movies where you sit there and are just in awe the entire time. I can easily say that I’ve never seen a movie like this before. We hardly get to see something this beautifully crafted, it really was a treat. Although the story made me uncomfortable at times, it made up for it with a new perspective and sense of awareness. Could go on forever about how everything in this film seemed perfect: the acting, score, cinematography, etc. Would definitely watch again.

  Genius. Premise is so incredibly simple, yet so thought provoking and expressive. Wes Anderson-like playfulness in its beautiful cinematography and score. Slow paced and shots are held long but the characters and story are so intriguing that you’re constantly curious and never bored. Very interesting look into couples expectations as gender roles shift. There is no right and wrong, the viewer is simply a bystander watching a series of events unfold in front of them. Actors were incredible. Must watch.

  A real bummer. I got more out of the 2 min trailer then I did from the entire film. The dialogue, premise and cast was all there, but was sadly thrown away with poor direction and pacing. Although the pacing picks up in the last act, the majority of the film is fairly slow. The set up was extremely poor, resulting in weak to little pay offs. Interesting concept of Julianne Moore playing her twin sister, but 30-mins into the…
