The Shape of Water
The Shape of Water feels like a referendum on the times we are living in. In particular, the antagonist feels like today’s man. Doing what he wants and not caring for anyone else like a Republican. No need for women. No need for workers. All American. No to fish men.
The Shape of Water secured tons of award nominations. I’m very doubtful that it deserves it. It’s decent, but the director has done better. I think it may win a few of those awards, but not the big one, Best Picture.
3 of 5 stars.
