Movie review: The Shape of Water with Sally Hawkins

Here is the story...way back in 1960s at a government lab of some sort, an amphibious creature is brought in for analysis. Like, they found him in South America in a river or something. Anyway, one of the cleaning women (Sally Hawkins), who is mute, takes a shine to him and they form a bond. The villain (Michael Shannon) tortures this poor thing and has been ordered to kill him. The Russians also have an interest in this thing.

This movie has a Beauty and the Beast vibe but lets not give away too much because surprises and love ensue.

The Shape of Water is just great. All the actors are great. The director was great. Go see it immediately but it is not for the children. Put them to bed first.

This movie will appeal to you if:

You like fantasy movies
A Beauty and the Beast type of romance drama is right up your alley
You like some imagination in a movie

This movie will not appeal to you if:

You don't have the stomach for some torture
You can't see yourself watching a movie about an amphibious creature
You enjoy more a more traditional movie experience

Male logic joke

*This is a story which is perfectly logical to all males:* A wife asks her husband, "Could you please go shopping for me and buy one carton of milk, and if they have eggs, get 6." A short time later the husband comes back with 6 cartons of milk. The wife asks him, "Why the hell did you buy 6 cartons of milk?" He replied, "They had eggs."
