An interesting SJW fairytale in Cold War.

Rating: 6/10 (4 March 2018)

Shape Of Water is what you get, when you mix Abe Sapien from Hellboy, with a dark fairytale story in Cold War era, that aims to a SJW-ish understanding.
Storywise, a mute cleaner, living with a gay artist, while working at a top secret lab, with her obese black friend, finds her love of her life in the face of a "creature from the golden lagoon". Of course, the supervisor of the creature is a mean bad racist white man and they are trying to help the creature escape. This is a fairytale with no happy ending, as Del Toro uses to deliver.
So, the story is nothing special, but the way it is delivered, is worth the hype. The picture is amazing and the music is beautiful, making up a fairytalish atmosphere that will help you bare with the story. It has a very strange feelgood feeling that surpass its obvious SJW agenta.
To put it in less words, yes, it is a decent movie for cinema. No, it is not worth so much Oscar Hype.
