We ask ourselves how this odd, adult fairy tale managed to grab film’s highest honor and it’s merits. We also talk about the divisiveness of the film amongst movie-goers– especially Christians. Does The Shape of Water reflect something about our culture that resonates on a deeper level? We discuss.
