The Shape of Water* (15) 
(Vue Romford)   

(US 2017)                                   

A mute cleaner falls in love with a rare amphibian who is wanted by both the Americans and the Russians in the Space Race.
A touching fable lovingly set in 1950s Cold War America is slightly marred by naive and cliched scripting, as well as some unnecessary excesses of sex and violence. Not the best of Del Toro (his Spanish language fantasies are still superior), but sentimental enough with English speaking audiences to win him accolades.
