SHAPE OF WATER

SYNOPSIS: A woman falls in love with a water creature.

RATING: 8/10

REVIEW: 

• I really like Guillermo del Torro's movies. He makes weird but amazing movies and this is one of those. 
• I like the cinematography of this movie. It was full of beautiful scenes.
• I really like the cast of this movie. I don't know most of them except for Octavia Spencer and Doug Jones but they were very suitable to their roles and were amazing.
• del Torro knows how to create a character that you will hate so much.
• Honestly, the story was a bit weird but hey, it's a Guillermo del Torro movie.
  SPOILER ALERT: There was one part of the movie that might make it less weird though.
• I love Elisa's friends - Zelda and Giles. I love her bond with each of them. I love how they supported her.
• Overall, I love the movie. There were some cringe-worthy moments here and there but there were more beautiful and touching scenes.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Yes, if you want something weird but beautiful.
WOULD I WATCH IT AGAIN: Probably, yes.

• I really hate Richard. First, he tortured the amphibian man so much (kudos to the amphibian man for removing his fingers). Second, he made disturbing approaches towards Elisa because of his creepy fetish even though he has a wife. Third, he killed Dimitri. Fourth, he threatened to hurt Elisa and her husband. Lastly, he tried to kill Elisa and the amphibian man. 
• The scene where Richard removed his decaying fingers was very disgusting.
• I felt very sad when Dimitri died but he should have kept the information about where the amphibian man was staying! Why did he have to rub it in Richard's face! (Also, disgusting scene where Dimitri was shot in the cheeks and then Richard tortured him using the hole in his face).
• Really unbelievable scene where Elisa managed to fill her bathroom with water. It's not like it doesn't have holes. But hey, it made a beautiful scene.
• I felt very sad when the amphibian man ate Giles' cats. Cats are cute creatures!
• I love Giles. He was very supportive towards Elisa. I hate the guy who rejected his advances (at least he was just banned from the store). I love that the amphibian man managed to heal him and make his hair grow.
• I love Zelda's reaction when Elisa told her about the amphibian man and their relationship.
• I like the romance and bond that developed between Elisa and the amphibian man. I just didn't want to remember their sex scene (cringe-worthy).
• Because of the ending, I believe that Elisa was a bit like the amphibian man. Especially since she was mute and had scars on her neck (Maybe, they were the same but she managed to adapt staying in land?). I love that they were able to escape to the water and live together peacefully (or I think).
