"The Shape of Water"

Guillermo del Toro's Oscar winner "The Shape of Water" is a sweet fairy tale for adults. It follows a mute woman named Elisa (Sally Hawkins) who takes interest in a sea creature at the lab where she works. Concerned about how the lab treats the Amphibian Man, she recruits her friends (Octavia Spencer and Richard Jenkins) to rescue him. The Amphibian Man, suffice to say, is a much gentler water dweller than the Merpeople in the wizarding world. But like "Harry Potter," "The Shape of Water" is a beautifully stylised fantasy story with a strong overarching message about acceptance and love.
