Review of The Shape of Water (2017) by Ty Burr for Boston Globe — 07 Dec 2017
Fairy tales hew to time-honored story lines, and some may fault The Shape of Water for the traditionalism that underlies its phantasmagoric surface. It’s the getting there that bewitches, though, and a performance by Hawkins that’s smart, scared, furious, profoundly erotic, and regal — all without saying a word.
Love doesn’t speak in this movie. Instead, it swims with unparalleled style.
