A new week brings a major new release, and this one has a massive 13 Oscar nominations!
Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water tells the tale of a mute cleaner, played by Sally Hawkins, who encounters a mysterious creature at her job in a military facility, ant the director whisks us way on a magical adventure from there.

“Be in no doubt. The current, slight favourite for the best picture Oscar is a lovely thing” 4/5 – Irish Times

“Del Toro might have made The Shape of Water, but Sally Hawkins owns it” Village Voice
“The Shape of Water is partly a code-scrambled fairy tale, partly a genetically modified monster movie, and altogether wonderful” New York Times
