The Shape of Water Ratings & Reviews

  • NickJune 26, 2025
    Elisa is more or less a severely deformed fish. She meets her one true love and her real form is “unveiled”
  • stuhannafordMay 10, 2025
    Extraordinary. Packed full of metaphor for those with an eye for such things. A tale of humanity for those that simply want to be moved and entertained in equal measure. As is so often the case with a Del Toro film, the wonder and fantasy grabs the attention of your eyes, whilst the mind has all the good, and bad, of what makes us human, reflected back at you.
