Andrew A it was just a fun story that put a smile on my face. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Richard Y Another brilliant movie from Guillermo Del Toro fully deserving its Oscar. It has heart and all elements that you feel when experiencing it for the first time, esp when the creature is so reminiscent of The Creature From The Lagoon which is supposedly a scary monster. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/25 Full Review Suiko F So ridiculously dumb. Don't watch!! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Scarlet S I love the story, it was like a Beauty and the Beast vibe. I like that it was a sign language kind of movie, it didn't really have much of talking it was mostly about emotions, and how you could feel it through the screen, and it was fabulous. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/14/25 Full Review Jeremi B Guillermo del Toro prouve une fois de plus qu’il sait manier le fantastique et la science-fiction avec une profondeur émotionnelle inattendue. Ce film est bien loin des conventions, offrant une œuvre qui dépasse les frontières du genre et qui se distingue par son originalité. Même en sachant que ce projet vient de Del Toro, son approche surprend. Ce n’est pas un film auquel on s’attendrait de sa part, mais il réussit à créer une atmosphère unique et à livrer une œuvre singulière. The Shape of Water n’entre dans aucune case habituelle : il se détache des normes et propose une expérience cinématographique atypique. Si le film ne m’a pas particulièrement captivé, je ne peux nier son ambition et son apport artistique. Il mérite le respect pour sa construction, sa mise en scène et son audace. Je le recommande, mais avant tout aux amateurs de cinéma qui savent aller au-delà du divertissement classique et qui apprécient les expériences cinématographiques plus profondes et symboliques. Peut-être qu’une deuxième vision pourrait m’aider à mieux saisir tout ce que The Shape of Water cherche à transmettre. Pour l’instant, ce film ne m’a pas totalement pris, mais je reconnais son importance et sa singularité. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/06/25 Full Review Kobi A Such a strong year for movies, such a forgettable Best Picture winner. The direction and score are fantastic; Del Toro and Desplat definitely earned those Oscars, but the story is largely uninteresting and the slow pace doesn't help matters. Michael Shannon's character is kind of a joke and not really intimidating, and even though I love weird stuff in movies I draw the line at fish sex. Oh, and that scene in the movie theatre? Painfully pandering. You're better than that, Guillermo. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/07/25 Full Review Read all reviews
