The Shape of Water (R) starring Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon, Doug Jones, Octavia Spencer. Drama/Fantasy
A cleaning lady working in a top-secret lab back in the 1950’s, forms an unusual relationship with an amphibious creature.
This was a rather unusual love story, although I normally like films with “out of the box” storylines, I found this film a little too “out there”. I was rather disappointed with this film, given all the hype. I thought it needed more substance. I did think the creature looked rather beautiful.
I rate it 1/2
Us non-lovers (Yes, that is a word!😁) are few and far between. I was disappointed with the story line as well: Just your ordinary love story. I adore Pan’s Labyrinth, though.
