WHAT IS ALL THE FUSS ABOUT?

Rating: 6/10 (30 March 2018)

Oftentimes, the Academy Awards get it right. But sometimes, as here and, more particularly with Birdman a few years ago, they get it awfully wrong.
"The Shape Of Water" isn't a bad movie by any means. Just a very very disappointing one after all that's been said in its favour. I admit that I haven't yet had a chance to see all of this year's (2018) nominations for Best Picture but I have seen both "Get Out" and "Dunkirk". And I have seen "Three Billboards" and can't understand why that one evidently wasn't nominated for Best Picture. Both Dunkirk and Three Billboards were, in my view, infinitely better movies than "The Shape Of Water".
I bought this DVD cheaply in Thailand so thankfully I haven't lost much money. I doubt that I'll be watching it again.
