The critics are indeed very wrong about this film. This is why I feel I need to write something to maybe motivate potential viewers to go see it, outside of what they have heard from critics.
I have never so thoroughly enjoyed a film. It was pure joy!
I have non-stop been listening to the soundtrack ever since. After it was over I immediately wanted to see it again. My friend and I were absolutely speechless on the way home by how it hit us.
In this day and age a film like this so filled with pure and genuine enjoyment is an absolute gem that should get the recognition it deserves. Sadly, I don't feel like it has received that recognition with only one oscar nomination. The cast was perfect, especially Hugh Jackman! Honestly what that man can't do... The music was phenomenal, cinematography enchanting, I just can't sum up how good this film was.
To think that a film about a woman who falls in love with a fish-person, boils eggs and floods her bathroom to have sex with said fish-person has been nominated for 13 oscars, while this masterpiece of a film only receives one nomination is a great shame!
