Good movie.
Clearly Guillermo Del Toro’s homage to The Creature From The Black Lagoon. He does love his monsters and freakiness.
The mousy mute woman has the sects with the fish man. I know that was smelly like swamp water. What a freak she turned out to be. It’s always the quiet ones.
Michael Shannon was great in his role.

This is all I need to know to sell me on this movie

Been looking forward to seeing this one. I was hoping it would be out down here this weekend, but it looks like the nationwide release isn't for another couple of weeks.

I'm not shocked by this at all...dude is incredibly underrated. He crushed the role in Take Shelter, dude can act.

Going to see it tomorrow. Figured the crowd would be more lively with the Disaster Artist premiere tonightt, and I love Room screenings. Should be a ton of fun.
But I am looking forward to seeing The Shape of Water the most. It is my most anticipated movie of the year, and I really hope it can measure up to Pan's Labyrinth.

I want to be excited for this movie but the trailer just does nothing for me

I thought it was OK, but just OK. It was like this generation's version of Splash. down to the ending.

I enjoyed it for the larger part. I'll have to think about whether there was a hidden reference or value added with the pie guy turns out to be a homophobe and racist scene. That part took me out of the movie for at least 15 minutes while I tried to digest what the purpose might be for the movie that had been progressing in a fairly linear fashion.

Amazing how people love to spoil this movie for others.

Bump because whoo boy, this movie was a trip. Don’t think this is spoily, since the jist of the plot is pretty well known.
There were parts - one big one being Alexandre Desplat’s whimsical score - that almost felt like a Tim Burton joint, and I don’t mean that in a bad way.
I liked that Del Toro hit the ground running on establishing Elisa’s sympathetic and passionate character, it helped to somewhat buy in on the quick (and weirdly graphic) love affair that bloomed with her & the “Asset”.
Del Toro seems to like casting real life physically imposing folks like Elba and Pearlman to walk amongst his monsters and Shannon works expectedly great in this role.
Creature-wise, and this isn’t a sizzling hot take, the creature was visually pretty much the egg-craving Abe Sapien and I wasn’t blown away - but Guillermo set some crazy high standards.
As an overall movie, not my favorite Del Toro, but again, he set some crazy high standards.
* actual kind of spoilers on the ending
I liked the twist. The film kind of preps you to believe anything & everything by that point, and it was a nice long play setup. imo

She did start every morning by flicking the bean in the bathtub.
