neutral · AI labelView post →I hadn‘t watched The Shape of Water since it came out and had forgotten that Michael Shannon‘s character is probably the most menacing film villain of the last decade if not longer

Not even the monster romance movie*. Not even that one. GOD. Save me, Guillermo Del Toro. Make another one. *Your Monster. It was fine.

Packed NYC screening, some people rudely tried to take their seats, defended them so we became friendly. And this woman wept so so profoundly during the movie…

negative · AI labelView post →Every time I think about THE SHAPE OF WATER I’m reminded that it was released at Christmas and that many families realized somewhere during the film that they’d brought grandma to a fish fucker movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie Factz: They never actually tell you what the shape of water is in The Shape Of Water, which is kind of a rip-off.
negative · AI labelView post →Friday night we went to see FRANKENSTEIN at one of my favorite local theaters. I felt like the movie was another solid installation of the GDT realm, covering much of the same material as CRIMSON PEAK & THE SHAPE OF WATER, with many echoes of the visual systems he's created across his career.

Our exclusive new peek at the Philippous’ sophomore effort gives an ominous new peek at Two-time Academy Award nominee Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water) in the film.

positive · AI labelView post →October 9 is a significant date in Guillermo del Toro's (@realgdt.bsky.social) films: it's when Hellboy comes through a portal to our world in Hellboy (2004), and in The Shape of Water (2017) it's the night that Elisa and the Amphibian Man spend together It's also GDT's birthday! ¡Feliz cumpleaños!
neutral · AI labelView post →A movie by Guillermo del Toro about a misunderstood monster? I don’t understand what movie they were expecting the man who gave us two Hellboy movies and The Shape of Water to make, other than literally this.

positive · AI labelView post →I saw a late showing of the Shape of Water at our local bijou theater. The place was empty, the theater was empty. I saw the entire film alone. When the movie ended I stepped outside to an empty street with softly falling snow. I took the bus home- also empty. It was a strange empty lonely midnight.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Shape of Water (2017) is such a stunning film. Visually, emotionally, mentally, just beautiful. And not least because the fascist gets got by the powers of love, nature, and an exquisite color palette.

neutral · AI labelView post →Creature from the Black Lagoon. Yeah, yeah, The Shape of Water and all that but I have a pitch in mind that combines the best of both worlds and my slasher film mindset.
neutral · AI labelView post →My review of FRANKENSTEIN is not online yet, but right now I am going to say that I walked out of THE SHAPE OF WATER and I didn't see PINOCCHIO as a result, and what I don't think I included in my review is enough about the feminism of this movie, in how it grapples with how culture is handed down

neutral · AI labelView post →Not sure how to parse this reading. Does "Horror" preclude romantic elements? Was THE SHAPE OF WATER ever pitched as a horror film? Did GDT cultivate or stumble into a label that may in fact be inaccurate?
