Talks a lot without saying anything.

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2018)

Being very excited to see a new release from the creator of Pan's Labyrinth I was amazed at how thin on content this film is.
It has an unearthly creature in it and that, pretty much, is the only draw to this film.
Its a clichéd storyline, with clichéd characters and a route 1 ending.
Considering the length of this film it could easily have covered the same ground in 30mins.
I can only assume The Shape of Water has received so many accolades due to either a complete shortage of anything of quality being released at the same time or quite simply because its a clique of showbiz buddies patting each other on the back?
Either way, this film is just awful and just doesn't get going.
