The Shape of Water (2017) Movie Review

The Shape of Water (2017) Review


Hello guys and welcome back to Movie Talks with Tudor! It's been a while since I did a review but I am heading into Oscar nominated movies this time of year so today we this review to feast upon. Listen, I love "Pan's Labyrinth" but I think that this one can top that because it is an amazing piece of cinema. It's visually stunning, almost like a poem this movie is, with an incredible, emotional and beautiful story, a love story actually that is not new but del Toro makes it feel and look new. I think it's his version of "Beauty and the Beast" or "Romeo and Juliet" even because the story is similar with those two stories. It has a slow pace but it is worth while because the emotional charge that this movie has is incredible. A stellar cast with some amazing performances from Richard Jenking, Octavia Spencer and Michael Stuhlbarg plus Doug Jones, as always, is incredible in this type of role. Also Michael Shannon makes for a wonderful villain but the stand out performance comes from Sally Hawkins. Without saying any word, she conveys so many feeling and emotions just from the gestures with her hands, her body language and her facial expressions. And that is not an easy thing to do so props for that. And I knew the movie was rated R but man, it's violent, bloody and with some very frontal nudity. Overall, it has to be one of the best movies of the year, visually and also in the story department. I can recommend this movie 100%! 9/10

OK guys, that is my review for today. Next up is "I,Tonya" and "The Maze Runner" trilogy. Until then, take care and keep on reviewing!
