loved this kind movie.

Rating: 10/10 (6 January 2018)

Sally hawkins is transcendent, luminous.
the set design is creative - consistently dark and retro in a kind of cozy batman way.
up to now, i have only seen hawkins play awkward, geeky roles - a revelation to see her charismatic, graceful, and sexy. impressively erotic merman as well.
in a way, it's a comic-book superhero movie, but the best one ever.
i was worried this film would be a downer like "pan's labyrinth." it's not. whew!
