Very Disappointing

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2018)

There is so much wrong with this film. Don't be fooled by the high praise; if it wasn't for the set costumes, colour scheme and Richard Jenkins best performance since The Visitor (a depressed lonely writer) I'd be giving this film a much lower score.
Sally Hawkins is so annoyingly childish and immature that it is impossible to fall in love with her character and feel any sense of hapliness when she finally finds true love. Shes also very sellfish, notice how she never thanks Octavia Spencer for punching in her time card every day. Shes also refuses to eat the cake Giles bought for her , then expects him to take care of her lover every day and doesnt even aplologise when he eats her cat.
Michael Shannons character is discomforting. The only development given is that he doesnt go to the toilet normally and likes to drive a flashy teal car. Were also given a completely irrelevant shot of him and his wife in bed.
On top of this there are numerous plot hole that we are just expected to ignore. And theres also a ridiculous black and white dance scene between Elisa and fish man. All in all, dont waste your time on such an awful film.
