The Shape of Water is brimming with Guillermo del Toro's spirit, who is himself a deep lover of film and love itself. The stuff of movies; suspense, violence, eroticism, humor, joy and even sadness, it's all there. (...) Only del Toro could deliver this kind of entertainment that so masterfully blends his authorship with popular elements, and at the same time be a love letter to creature features of the past.
