Magical

Rating: 8/10 (9 September 2018)

Eliza Esposito, a cleaning lady at a top government facility, discovers the top secret...a male humanoid creature. They form a bond...and fall in-love.
I really love the characters. Sally Hawkins as Eliza is simply elegant and beautiful, Octavia Spencer is great as ever, and I simply love Shannon's character.
The romance is not weird if you come to realize that Eliza may not be even human at all. She was found on the river with "slashes" on her throat. Maybe she is like the creature as well, only that she was transformed into a human for some magical reasons. Maybe that's why she didn't get scared by it but, instead, instantly got attracted to it.
Well anyway, the story has some clichèd moments but this movie is still lovely and great. I love the beautiful cinematography, the magical setting.
Go watch this.
