Amazing to think a film about a bipedal water-creature finding love can sweep the Oscars, but then del Toro does have a magic touch. And this film is mostly magic, loneliness finding happiness in another just as isolated. The 1960s sheen and every-shade-of-green palette are perfect, as is Sally Hawkins who wholly convinces in her love for the swamp creature.
