Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 2477804, member: 93"] That's next on my list this week. I saw [I]Lady Bird[/I] and [I]The Shape of Water[/I] this weekend. I expected to like the latter better, but ended up preferring [I]Lady Bird[/I] as between the two. Saorise Ronan, whom I loved in [I]Brooklyn[/I], is even better here. Great supporting cast, too. Very good, real movie with endearing, real characters. [I]The Shape of Water[/I] is much more ambitious and I expect it will get more buzz for that reason, and it is pretty interesting and very well done. I am all for movies as escapism and usually don't have a problem suspending disbelief for a good ride, but for some reason this pushed it a touch too far for me in too many spots. A little darker than I expected, and a little more obvious/predictable in some spots, too. Still very enjoyable, but I expected a little more given the buzz. [/QUOTE]
