Not what I was expecting but better

Rating: 8/10 (12 April 2018)

This movie seemed to evoke a certain kind of film noir element, although in a colorized magical sort of way. I found its artistic and whimsical nature an unexpected delight and appreciated the vintage feel infused throughout the film, as well as the nostalgia it invoked, something most likely wasted on all audiences under the age of 50. It satisfied my criteria for an enjoyable movie: fun, well done, interesting, superior attention to detail, and unique but over before you know it which only left me wishing for more. It also seemed to leave the door open for a sequel. I'm hoping Elisa becomes a mermaid and that we will get to see her as a queen in the world of her aqua god. Who knows, the sky's the limit or should I say water. :)
