    The Shape of Water (2017) was an absolute delight. It was a perfect adult fairy tale and not what I was expecting at all. It has an otherworldly feel to it, great soundtrack, amazing story, and suitable effects. Wasn't expecting a Cold War period drama but it's that too! A+ movie.

    Magical realism at its best. If u don’t understand or appreciate this literary genre then by all means stay home and drink beer and do your usual brain dead with your favorite pap. Give it a 5 for brilliance !

    The Shape of Water is the type of film you could go to high and think is perfectly normal and go to sober and think is totally nuts, it was still a beautiful love story, albeit insane. Depends on what your motivation for seeing the movie was. If you went in thinking it was a cold war government conspiracy movie then that's really not the main focus of the film so you may not be all that interested. yes, there is some back story relating to the Russians and the USA and there is some cold war tactics and it centered around that time but it's mainly the story of an alien and a human falling in love. It's mental but strangely beautiful.

    The Shape of Water is an excellent film. It is about a lonely janitor forms a unique relationship with an amphibious creature in the 1960s. Sally Hawkins and Octavia Spencer give fantastic performances. The screenplay is well written. Guillermo Del Toro did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the adventure and drama. The Shape of Water is is a must see.

    Possibly the worst movie I've ever seen. Aside from a poor plot, it could have been rated X. If there were a 0 rating it would get my vote. I can't believe that Octavia Spencer would stoop to be part of this movie.

    Damn it, this film is gorgeous. A perfect example of how storytelling is better than a novel story. The direction, acting, cinematography, and soundtrack are excellent.

    My wife and I saw this movie twice, that's how much we enjoyed it. We enjoyed how it blended so many influences to create a magical world, magical characters and an interplay of stereotype and unique characters to provide insight and meaningful resonance.

    A very good movie, I thoroughly enjoyed it although I wish they'd gone into more detail and made it a bit longer.
