Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2018)

Set in the 1960s The Shape of Water is a fantasy love story which should probably tug at your heartstrings. Guillermo Del Toro is a well-known face with a fantastic filmography and this film should only add luster to it. There are many underlying themes ranging from racism to espionage. Of course, it is the performances from the always fantastic Sally Hawkins and Octavia spences to especially Michael Shannon who plays a cruel official that make us believe in everything. As expected the set pieces and special effects are very good. The creature deserves a special mention. This adult fairy tale is a very good film and it should be watched
