why?

Rating: 5/10 (25 January 2018)

Had they pushed through with just saccharine caring and sweetness for the creature to help it escape, it would have been 6 stars. cast is great.
but come on - it's beyond me why people loved the movie (and my wife & daughter did so i may be the odd one here!) - i get the allegorical story- and the individual character stuff, and the cool set design stuff -
but you lost me on the physical relationship between them. sorry, i just didn't see the need. keep it mental, and the film works better for me.
and sadly, this will likely win the oscar over other more deserving movies!
