Cheap and charming. Sad and funny. Great characters. Kind of like a Mike Leigh film by way of, "The Shape of Water." Not scary.
The earnestness in which this movie approaches its absolutely nonsensical premise gets 5 stars from me.
Shameless meets the Shape of Water through a Pride lens! look,I'm a brit so this kind of dryly delivered tomfoolery,when done right,is in my dna,& I have no qualms in declaring my deepfelt love of this film. Went into it because it was the right length to watch before heading up the wooden hill to Bed-fordshire,was engrossed within 10 minutes & had a silly,satisfied grin on my face when it finished🥴 I understand how some may have the poler opposite experience,but to me this is exactly the kind of film that i love to stumble across👍👍
Masterpiece.
The makers are very competent and the actors did their best with the material, but I couldn't help think throughout "what is the point of all this nonsense?" It's not as funny as it thinks it is and the story is a well walked path made from cliché after cliché.. albeit, I've not seen it involve a manfish before, but I really didn't need to either. If you're going to dedicate so much time and resources to making a film, at least make sure you have an original thought. A man dressed in a fish suit just doesn't cut it in 2024.
