Charlie Day
Del Toro's worst
Guillermo Del Toro is a fantastic director, but he really does himself a disservice with this film. It's an interesting story idea and the effects are pretty decent, it's just a shame the acting and script are awful. Charlie Day is beyond irritating in every scene he's in, and even Idris Elba doesn't come off well.

"I hate fantasy movies. I did not want to see this film. I don’t remember why I ended up seeing it, but it immediately drew me in and left me breathless. Guillermo del Toro has the ability to create magical worlds that are emotionally grounded, and he never shies away from the darkness that exists in both fantasy and reality."

What the hell am I watching?
I expected it to be weird because it's directed by Guillermo Del Toro but I was still surprised at how weird it is.
An amphibian man is something of general fantasy, but a mute cleaning lady who falls in love with the amphibian man is obscure.
However it does have a structured storyline, and brilliant cinematography.
