I was reading the Facebook comments of a friend, Julie Ferguson, about the movie "The Shape of Water" and it occurred to me that I had not reviewed the movie.
I enjoyed the movie and I recommend it for adults. It is, at it's core, a simple love story. In this case, a love story between a mute girl and a kind-of creature (Creature from the Black Lagoon).
While I enjoyed it, I'd give it 4 stars out of 5, I couldn't honestly say that it was a great movie. Having said that, it did win for Best Picture. So that shows you what I know...
I loved the otherworldly, atomic-age, retro vibe and the creature was freaking fantastic. On the downside, Elisa's time with the creature in the lab should have been much longer, the song and dance portion was just odd and screwed up the timing and pace of the movie, and we didn't need the nudity.
All in all, it's a good film and I recommend it.
