Rating: 10/10 (7 February 2018)

Guillermo del Toro delivers a stunning and beautiful masterpiece that truly stands out as his shining crown of his filmography with wonderful writing and directing as well its stunning visuals and production merits and a refreshing original score crafted with heart by Alexandre Desplat.
Even the performances of all the entire cast are truly amazing. The main stand out of the performances mostly, Sally Hawkins, Richard Jenkins and Octavia Spencer delivers a compelling performances that makes this film an apple of the eye.
Despite the fact that The Shape of Water draws similarities with Beauty and the Beast and with a combination of its themes from Creature from the Black Lagoon, this film is a worthy companion piece that speaks of passionate and unrequited love with no divided boundaries or prejudice.
