Oscars' Wild '18: #8 The Shape of Water

The Shape of Water

What works:

Conviction. This outlandish tale brings you home.
Score, performances, production design. Green is good.
Direction is earnest and committed to del Toro's style of filmmaking.

What doesn't:

Nothing new per se. Predictable storyline.
Polarized characters.

Oscars expected: 3/13

(Best director, Best production design, Best score)
