Guillermo del Toro’s new film is a ravishing 60s-set romance, sweet, sad and sexy.

Guillermo del Toro’s latest is a fairy tale for grown-ups with a cinephile twist – it may be his most perfect confection to date.

The film is one of the director's most stunningly successful works, it’s also a powerful vision of a creative master feeling totally, joyously free.

Den er en eskapistisk godbid i en grå vintermåned, hvor man ellers hurtigt selv kan komme til at føle sig som en kold fisk...

Meget sød, men lidt overvurderet

Del Toro elsker monstre, og 'The Shape of Water' er hans store kærlighedserklæring til disse ellers forhadte og frygtede væsener.

En modern Skräcken i Svarta Lagunen med extra romantik! En ljuvlig “Beauty and the Beast” med värme, spänning och humor!

Den centrale kærlighedshistorie forbliver lidt et postulat, man FØLER det ikke rigtigt. Måske skulle Del Toro have skåret nogle af de øvrige plot-tråde væk.
