Undeniably unique

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2018)

The Shape of Water is undeniably unique. The production design, cinematography, visual effects and score make you feel like you're in another world. The story, however, feels a little watered down. It takes an interesting concept and stretches it a little too thin, while patting itself on the back for being so artistic. I really enjoyed watching Sally Hawkins' and Doug Jones' performances, but this isn't Guillermo del Toro's best work.
