Dark Romantic Fantasy-A New Genre

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2018)

Del Toro has blurred the lines between traditional genres and, thus, has created his very own unique genre. For this reason, it is very difficult to compare "The Shape of Water" with any other film. Additionally, this film will most likely not be enjoyed by a traditional, squared minded audience who will probably just consider it as weird. On the other hand, it will most certainly be enjoyed by an imaginative, openminded audience who is tired of traditional films, and understands the struggle for love in the dark and divisive times we live in.
