There is Magic still in Fairytales-

Rating: 10/10 (30 January 2018)

The Shape of Water, is possibly the most unusual love story ever filmed.
As they say it's not who you love that matters and we all see love in different ways..
If you enjoyed Guillermo del Toro's masterpiece Pans Labyrinth I think you'll enjoy this movie.
It's fantasy, nostalgia and suspense told as an adult fairytale.
Superb performance by one of my favourite actresses Sally Hawkins , did you see her in Maudie now that's the movie I think she should have won an Academy award for but she's one of the favourites this year and roles where actors play handicapped characters that are deaf, mute, or blind usually win Academy awards.
A great supporting cast including Octavia Spencer but i'll single out Michael Shannon as the most evil villain since The Queen in Snow White and Richard Jenkins ,nominated as best supporting actor well deservedly for his role of Giles the "Good Queen "in this Adult Fairytale.
I particularly loved the music by my favourite cinema composer of today
Alexander Desplat.
Like La La Land some will love this movie some will hate it but I think originality and good story telling is what makes cinema so enjoyable.
