Hawkins, Jenkins, and Shannon are quite a trio. Lovely to look at, and that dance number was outstanding. It didn't really grab me emotionally the way some of the other great movies this year have, but it was still marvelously constructed.

Looks great. Acted well.

The social critiques aren't hard enough. They linger in a way that is off putting.

There's a lot of film geek/buff shit going that works and doesn't

The monster in the end just doesn't do enough and the climax is weak

Del Toro still a master imo

This a 3/5

It was obviously "well made" but I found myself disinterested for long chunks.

It was fine.

I fucking hated Pacific Rim with rage, so del Toro is a little hit or miss for me...

I think the overt sexuality was misplaced. That shit was literally a Paul Mooney punchline, so it was cringey as hell.

OK to Good is about right

I saw this Friday before watching The Last Jedi a second time.

Damn what a beautiful film.

I didn't like Pacific Rim, and was underwhelmed by Crimson Peak.

But he really came with it this time.

The only reason I might put Pan's Labyrinth ahead of this is because the story for The Shape of Water is pretty straightforward, you kind of know where it's going. It doesn't really throw many or any curveballs--whereas from start to finish I had NO IDEA where Pan's Labyrinth was going.

But still. The lead was so great. Richard Jenkins was great. Octavia Spencer was great. Michael Shannon was gave his usual creepy as performance. And some of the shots were just absolutely beautiful.

This might be my favorite movie of the year.

I loved it. admittedly i'm a big GDT fan, and his aesthetic & 'textures' of his films seem to ALWAYS align with my preferences, and this one is no different.

its a simple little film really, which i tend to appreciate.
Loved the performance by the female lead, she was absolutely fantastic. (and Doug Jones is my boy, as the creature of course .
like i said, its a simple little story at its core, but it does manage to linger afterwards, like most GDT movies do...its got that 'sneaky good' quality about it....

best way i could describe it is that its a real 'charmer'...

catch it if ya can!

happy my bro GDT won Best Director for "The Shape of Water" last night on the Golden Globes. if its still playing in your area, this charmer is worth seeking out

Also, props to my boy Aziz Ansari winning best performance for "Master of None".
Glad that "Coco" for animated film too....

No fish dick? No hint of amphibious testicles? No aqua junk?

When I saw it, I left the theater thinking it was definitely the best movie I'd seen in 2017.

Can't say I felt that way about 3 Billboards.

I liked it but it's pretty a the story of what if Amelie was fucking a sea monster

(and with Michael Shannon)
