The Shape of Water's reviews
Media reviews
Vanity Fair
The Shape of Water revealed its graceful dimensions, its compassion and ingenuity and surprising frankness.
New York Times
He (Guillermo del Toro) fuses a fan?s ardor with a romantic sensibility that is startling in its sincerity.
El Mundo
The film sail, literally, over the spectator's retina like an staggered and wounded animal. It's sleepwalker cinema so evocative like decidedly uncomfortable. It's cinema, definitely, about the need to the other, the strange, everything, from the shadow, built and disarm the typical reality.
Collider
It?s an immense achievement because The Shape of Water not only entertains as a sumptuous fairytale, but it reinforces a faith in humanity set in a time where tolerance of other races, nationalities, and non-?family values? love was volatile.
The Hollywood Reporter
A dark-edged fairy tale as lovingly steeped in vintage movie magic as it is in hypnotic water imagery, this captivating creature feature marries a portrait of morally corrupt early-1960s America with an outsider tale of love and friendship molded by a master storyteller.
Rolling Stone
Just dive into the experience. There's magic in it.
The Guardian
Guillermo del Toro?s new film is a ravishing 60s-set romance, sweet, sad and sexy.
Variety
Rapturously alive.
