A contemporary fairy tale

Rating: 7/10 (13 March 2018)

A modern day take on "Creature From the Black Lagoon" and reminiscent of "Beauty and the Beast" without the beauty. Mindlessly entertaining and well acted by Sally Hawkins with Octavia Spencer reprising an all to frequent character role and Michael Shannon a bit of a nasty villain. I gave it a seven out of ten but it definitely was not worthy of a Best Picture Oscar.
