00:00:02.800 --> 00:00:05.860
Is The Shape of Water a monster romance?

00:00:08.540 --> 00:00:12.280
"He sees me as I am."

00:00:12.280 --> 00:00:15.320
Indeed -- and it's way too mature for kids.

00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.240
[monster slams against tank]

00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:22.840
Set in the 1960s, this dark sci-fi fantasy
focuses on a lonely woman who befriends a

00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:25.660
strange creature in the government lab where
she works.

00:00:25.660 --> 00:00:31.449
"This may very well be the most sensitive
asset ever to be housed in this facility."

00:00:31.449 --> 00:00:32.520
Sound intriguing?

00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.680
Well, here's the catch: It's super violent.

00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:42.730
We're talking bloody stabbings, torture, brutal
fights, and plenty of jump scares.

00:00:42.730 --> 00:00:47.980
Then there's the full-frontal nudity, plus
masturbation and a supernatural sex scene.

00:00:47.980 --> 00:00:52.810
As for language, expect some F-bombs, the
S-word, and more.

00:00:52.810 --> 00:00:54.160
"Sit down!"

00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:59.740
Despite the shocking content, this is actually
a sweet story about sympathy, compassion, and love.

00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:04.260
"When he looks at me, he does not know how
I am incomplete."

00:01:04.620 --> 00:01:08.660
Common Sense says The Shape of Water is OK
for teens 16 and up.
