I'm watching the Shape Of Water. The first 15 minutes are not encouraging. This is one of those films I'm liable to throw in the bin.
I know that this is an homage and good natured rib on old style horror and the steam punk fantasy but come off it. This is like modern art, the joke costs too damned much to be worth the punchline.

To use some antiquated language: So far it's about a masturbating mute with obvious and revolting mental retardation, Richard Jenkins plays a neurotic old queen and Michael Shannon hasn't turned up to save me from killing myself yet.
Octavia Spencer is still sassy and black, Wanda Sykes must have lost the coin flip.
