The Shape of Water (2017)


IMDb plot summary: At a top secret research facility in the 1960s, a lonely janitor forms a unique relationship with an amphibious creature that is being held in captivity.
Directed by Guillermo del Toro. Starring Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, and Octavia Spencer.

This was quite lovely. Its extremely simple storytelling brought out the fairy tale aspects of it.
