Spect.The Shape of Water has captivated audiences with its unique blend of fantasy and romance, set against a visually stunning 1960s backdrop. Viewers praise Sally Hawkins' expressive performance as a mute janitor and the film's deep exploration of themes like love, oppression, and the beauty of difference. The poetic and surreal atmosphere, combined with a touching narrative and rich cinematography, has left many deeply moved, though some found the plot predictable and the creature's design unappealing.

Un film très personnel, entre « L’Etrange Créature du lac noir » et « Splash ! ».
Le monstre fait un peu série z mais on se prend dans cette histoire et cette lumière très sombre qui embarque dans un conte, porté par une musique qui est très caractéristique de ce film
Magnifique BO, magnifique lumières, photographie, de la poésie dans l’histoire, on retrouve tous les éléments qui font un excellent film
Recommandé par l'IA Memorizer
8,5 Original et beau.
