This is a beautiful story, exquisitely performed! If you are not able to suspend disbelief and see truth in fantasy, I grieve for you, because you miss out on gems like this film. This story deals with loneliness, kindness, friendship, love, courage and nobility. As well as ambition, prejudice, corruption of power, cruelty and powerlessness. Guillermo del Toro wove a sensitive and beautiful story set in a sterile and cruel world. The performances are wonderful by a talented and accomplished cast. The production design brilliantly captures the romantic tension of the piece. I highly recommend this film and give it a 9 (superbly beautiful) out of 10. [Fantasy, Drama, Romance]

Surprisingly overrated. It is worth watching once, but not worth a return visit. It is very predictable, right from the beginning.

It would have been better suited as a made for TV SYFY movie.

In a word, _magical_. The Shape of Water is a beautiful and superbly crafted film with excellent writing, direction, art direction, cinematography, acting, and music. It's arguably del Toro's best work and easily my favorite film of 2017. **This is why I go to the movies!**

While I can understand, people enjoying this film or even holding it a personal favourite the accolades it's getting and being passed as movie of the year is laughable. It has a very nice theme and setting which makes for a pretty looking film but the story is so one note with fairly one dimensional boring characters (the antagonists are so unbelievable) with a fairly on the nose basic story. Ignoring that the logistics and execution of the whole thing seems ridiculous and lousy what with how unsecured and awfully maintained the lab is etc. It's a passable movie to me with no rewatchability

I hated this movie. I laughed and cringed through the entire wasted two hours.

@joshvaughn777 maybe if the movie was 90 minutes it would have been more palatable…

@joshvaughn777 Would be nice if you could explain why you didn't like it.

Thought this would be an 'out there' film, based on some things I had heard about it. But honestly, while it felt alien to me, it also felt human. I left the movie with the thought of "I wouldn't watch this with my family, but I _would_ watch it myself again". It was an incredibly well-done movie and quite the original plotline. Performances from all the actors were great, and I'm glad I took the chance on this film.

8.5/10

Probably expectations were really high because of the 13 nominations at the Oscars, but I didn't really enjoy this movie. "How could this win as a Best Picture" was my only thought while watching the movie.

Cinematography and production design were outstanding, acting was decent (Michael Shannon in particular) but I didn't like the score and the directing (at least considering that they won an Oscar). But most of all..terrible plot. A B-movie plot, seen a hundred times and with nothing interesting or new.

How can this considered a masterpiece? Call me by your Name or Dunkirk should have won the Oscar, in my opinion.

Spectacular on the outside and a big, empty nothingness on the inside. Couldn't believe how it got 13 nominations at the Oscars.

It was Lovecraft's Dagon all along, come on! Uninteresting. If it wasn't for all the sex jokes, I'd mistake it for a tv only family movie. If you are looking for an interesting fishman character go watch Hellboy.
