So I just saw The Shape of Water and I have so many thoughts that it’s difficult to sum everything up in a couple sentences or so, but... no, didn’t think it was a masterpiece by any means but it was a beautiful and very fairytale-like experience.
Felt like... two different films in one? Hm. Yeah. Something like that.
Fantastic performances. Gorgeous cinematography. Guillermo del Toro is a wonderful visionary director. It’s nice to see him return to roots similar to Pan’s Labyrinth, which was my favorite del Toro film until this one.
Also, those special effects? Were... immaculate? What in the world? That creature looked completely real and I know it’s a combination of computer graphics and prosthetic makeup, but... wow. Wow. Wow.
... I know that this movie kind of took over Tumblr for a little bit but did anyone else see it recently? What did you think?
