The middle ground.

Rating: 5/10 (24 February 2018)

This movie is ok. I mean ok as not a masterpiece, but not that awful either. The problem is that I was actively reminding myself every 5-10 minutes "It's just a fairytale, let it be". There are so many moments in this film that require you to "let it be" that it turns into a movie that needs you to know its a movie to work. Yeah, their love is fine, but Elisa jumps from level 2 of curiosity to level 9 of love in a heartbeat and no, it doesn't work even in fairytales.
Everything is ok with this movie, the only question I have (and honestly would love someone to explain it to me) is: Why did they wait for the channel to rise instead of just driving this creature to the ocean themselves?
