the shape of water

Rating: 6/10 (31 May 2020)

Cross-species freakin 'and cold war ghosts, with toro's signature dark painting style and repeated questions about humanity: who is the monster? Is it the outside or the inside that is ugly? Sally Hawkins' performance is too warm, and perfectly captures the title: love is like water in a thousand shapes, you may not be able to touch it, but it will gently surround you...
