  Such a relief to have GDT back making movies about how most people are inherently garbage.

  There's a vibe here, but it's weirdly lifeless. Too much prestige, not enough noir, I think.

  I remain almost completely allergic to the very pretty and profoundly boring work of Guillermo del Toro.

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★½

  The fact that men are the real monsters in Guillermo del Toro movies has by now become so vividly self-evident that pointing it out offers all the same insight of observing that Quentin Tarantino loves feet, or that the old guy who keeps popping up in the MCU had something to do with the comics, or that the damaged police robot some gangsters have reprogrammed into a wacky, slang-talking street punk is actually the same “Chappie” alluded to by the film’s title. “The Shape of Water” may have been something of a bold choice for Best Picture, but that Oscar-winning fable about a mute cleaning lady who falls in love with an imprisoned fishman (to the violent displeasure of its…

  I love love love a con movie!! Especially one that traffics in careful attention and the psychology of small movements. Del Toro knows he’s just showing off with this one. I don’t know what the public reception has been on this but I won’t be shocked if he gets himself two more Director/Screenplay nods. This was one of my most anticipated films of the year and I really wish I’d gotten to soak it all in on a big screen, everything’s so sumptuous and gorgeously lit!

  Review by Josh Lewis ★★★ 5

  I didn’t love the constantly floating, wide-angle, shallow focus digital slickness (or find it very suited to the carny horror/noir images Del Toro is trafficking in) and think it’s kind of criminal how strangely passive and aimless Del Toro renders that first hour but won’t lie I was kinda won over in the 2nd half. Some really nice production design/location work, decent control of its grim tone, admirably mean and cruel treatment of its protagonist (which is inherent to the material being adapted rather than a distinct creative choice but effective nonetheless), and Cooper is genuinely good as money mindset Criss Angel mindfreak whose ultimate grift is going to therapy and convincing himself he’s more than the ugly things he’s willing to do to get a leg up on everyone else. There's also some additional gruesome, violent detail that gets added into the finale that I appreciated.
