Cruise
Saw it for the first time last nite
without any knowledge of the plot
Blew my mind apart
Staggering
I have to see it again to work it out
Don't normally watch a film twice
But need to make sure I understand
And of course Cameron Diaz needs closer

You could watch 20 times and still have no idea what it is all about, aa right load of old ****.
Quit while you are behind ffs...Biggest pile of sh1te I have ever seen.
It’s like the shape of water, you either get it or you DONT.....really
Watch the original, Penelope Cruz also stars in that as well. Imo vanilla sky was a great movie.
I like Tom Cruise but I am absolutely gobsmacked that anybody could enjoy that sh1te.
Good film IMO.. I suppose if you were the victim of an acid attack you would go to the mirror and hope it was all a dream with a guy standing on a futuristic sky scraper until reality sets in and the bathroom light comes on
I've seen the original Spanish film, which is great.
Never wanted to watch this remake for that reason.

Just hate films where you invest a couple of hours of your time trying to work out what is going on and then the filmmaker throws all rules of logic and common sense out of the window in the denouement - that is, if they even bother with one.
Bit like the stupid riddle at the end of 3-2-1 with Ted Rogers, but with Oscars.

i am certain that the shape of water was made just so that the director could have an elaborate w & n k
OP, That was my exact feeling the first time i saw it (quite a few years ago now) 
9 at least. imo.

Havent seen the original but as well as the rewatch value, I thought the director did a great job in that you can let it wash over you if you aren’t following it closely first time out. Very much his style of emotive conversations + clever dialogue + great soundtrack (the sigur ros tunes work really well in this) + nice looking shots (matched the colour of Diaz car to the colour of her eyes etc)
All of which is subjective of course and could be interpreted as an elaborate wa nk, horses for courses and all that.

If you like Vanilla Sky, I'm betting youre gonna like Solaris (2002 film)
Solaris seems to also fall into the category of extreme opinions.... I'm a Liker
