A journey of love and fantasy

Rating: 10/10 (19 March 2020)

The beauty with which Guillermo del Toro narrates this film offers us a beautiful story of a love between a woman and a monster. It is worth highlighting the essential performance of Sally Hawkins as Elisa and Doug Jones as the amphibian man. The photography and music composed by Alexandre Desplat manage to create an underwater experience that pays homage to classic cinema and also manages to captivate and identify with each of the characters. The shape of the water is without a doubt a beautiful movie in all its aspects and that manages to impact us with its highly detailed aesthetics and majestic direction.
