There is no profit in last week's fish.

Rating: 7/10 (19 January 2018)

This is a different kind of science fiction love story. Elisa (Sally Hawkins) is a mute who works as a cleaning person in a government facility in 1962 (calendar, Wednesday Sept 19). She works with Octavia Spencer who is no hidden figure. Her neighbor is a freelance commercial artist. During this time they bring in amphibian man (Doug Jones again) who they chain and experiment. She makes friends with the creature who she wants to save from destruction...and the Russians. Michael Shannon plays the antagonist.
The tale was a bit odd from the normal type of script. I was thinking they could have done this in black and white with occasional color, like the green jello...aka "Sin City" style. More along the lines of an art film.
