That worked both ways too, the scene where she imagines herself being able to sing to him about how much she loves in and the entire scene smoothly turns into a musical number blew me away. Sally Hawkins did an amazing job in not a lot of time of making that the most bittersweet thing ever.

this really made the film for me. I can't believe something like this got made right now and moreso got excellent critical acclaim to the point where it's probably tied with Ladybird for sweeping. Visually all the setpieces and the tiny world in this movie are so rich and detailed. The area with the holding tanks is remarkable. People in my theater were weeping after the credits which I've never seen happen in years of going to the movies.

Glad to hear that the movie was well-received, given the godawful trailer I saw before The Disaster Artist. One of those "here's the entire plot and character arcs edited down to 3 minutes" sort of previews. Was stunned when Del Toro's name appeared at the end.

I had the exact same thing happen to me and was pissed, I literally had to look away because before that I was going in totally blind.

Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat movie.

Although, its Del Toros least subtle film all the dessert, green talk and imagery, referring to the evils of money/capitalism (green jello, overtly green key lime pie, the green candy he eats).As the movie states multiple times "green is the future!". Even the desert (butter cake) the Commy Henchmen eats while not green it is a desert. While he is not influenced or driven by capitalistic and material greed, he still serves a corruptible and insidious means. Same thing with the car that Richard purchase it's not "green but teal" dollying up the actual motifs of the American Capitalist machine (its not oil its freedom, the tax bill helps the middle class), while the ulterior motive is obvious. Elisa, outright rejects this green through the form of the pie. Another interesting tidbit is when the movie theatre owner is lamenting that his business is dying then we cut to a whole row of display TVs.

well, sort of, maybe not
