No more Del Toro

Rating: 3/10 (4 May 2018)

To begin with I have to say that this movie is a walking and talking cliche of a so called Oscar-bait movie and what do you know - it's got some. So did we but it wasn't pleasant.
This movie should be taught in film school under subject "How NOT to make a movie". But everything in order. I'll start with positive aspects, of which I could have found just three: the acting, it's outstanding; music which is superb and Octavia Spencer who was the only one who didn't irritate so much. The rest though....
As I said earlier this movie was destined to win an Oscar from the very beginning. How could it not have won? It's got every possible kind of person who you can oppress: a mute woman, a black overweight woman, an old gay man, an extraterrestrial with a chain on his neck, bad russians. Everyone in this movie is being oppressed by the big boss - "the bad guy" who was portrayed mostly by Michael Shannon. He was not irritating in the first half of the movie but then it went straight downhill. Motivation? Never heard of it. Why am I so bad, you say? Because the plot says so. Six minutes of the movie and you're already know what you're going to get it the end, but I gave it a chance and regreted it. Worst best picture ever.
