The Shape of Water is exactly what one might expect from a film conceived, nurtured, and directed by del Toro -- superb, innovative cinematography, a consistent thematic feel throughout, subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) dichotomies between characters, and vivid, richly saturated visuals.
You know the film is a fantasy, but del Toro makes the viewer feel that maybe the story really could happen!
The Shape of Water is the perfect example of a movie one must see in a dark, quiet theater.
