The Shape of Water



Finally got around to watching The Shape of Water last night.
"Set in Baltimore, Maryland in 1962, the story follows a mute custodian at a high-security government laboratory who falls in love with a captured humanoid amphibian creature."

Rather lovely.

Offbeat and quirky (n all that).
Great setting in the early 60s in the middle of the cold war.
Lovely score and the way it's all shot in various shades of green (or is that teal).

Kermode get it right:
