An Extraordinary Ordinary Love Story

Rating: 9/10 (5 February 2018)

I saw the Shape of Water in my local theater today. I saw the eloquence of the mute. I saw people who are truly monsters become the monsters they are. I saw the true nature of decency and the life-affirming challenge of loving someone who is different. I saw the cruel way that gods are treated and the terrifying innocence and the absolution of water. In short, it's an ordinary love story told via an extraordinary baptism.
