- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: I look at The Shape of Water and I see a film that has been overpraised. Excellent production and strong performances get it to a good place, but this fish story did not excite me the same way it excited Elisa.
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: The Shape of Water says that we can be beautiful both inside and out by accepting that we are at our best when we love each other for our differences.
- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ Spirituality & Practice
- Excerpt: A sensuous film that is both a fairy tale and a socially relevant portrait of the prejudices afoot in our times.accompanies turning an enemy into a friend.

- Excerpt: The plot is very, very similar to that of a once well-known play, Paul Zindel’s “Let Me Hear You Whisper.”
- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: An uneven though often lovely love letter to classic movies and sweeping cinematic romance.
- Jared Mobarak @ BuffaloVibe
- Excerpt: The Shape of Water shows us that it’s never too late to be understood or seen. It reveals how Gods in our image are merely projections of our own limitations. Look beyond surfaces and see with your heart.
- Darren Mooney @ the m0vie blog
- Kristy Puchko @ Riot Material
- Excerpt: The Shape of Water is absolutely, devastatingly beautiful.
- Nuno Reis @ SciFiWorld Portugal
- Excerpt: Quanto ao filme e a manipulação óbvia feita aos espectadores, só desilude quem for com expectativas. Foi um ano fraco e o filme de del Toro é dos melhores do ano, mas isso não faz com que seja dos melhores trabalhos do mexicano.
- [New] | Júlio Cézar Rodrigues @ Megalomania Cultural [Portuguese]
- Amir Siregar @ Amir at the Movies [Indonesian]
- Excerpt: Guillermo del Toro’s ‘The Shape of Water’ is magically delicate and deeply romantic with one unforgettable performance from the sublime Sally Hawkins.
- Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Give Guillermo del Toro great actors, cinematographer Dan Laustsen, and the right script, and magic is assured.
- Betty Jo Tucker @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Excerpt: A fantasy thriller for the ages!
