I’m a fan of Del Toro, the amazing story, Oscar Isaac, and Christolphe Waltz. The surprise for me was Jacob Elordi, who played the monster. Del Toro delivers a lot of stunning visuals, but it’s too long at 2.5 hours. Waltz doesn’t get enough to work with and is wasted. The old blind man is terrific and finds the monster’s humanity. The monster is extremely powerful and indestructible, and reflects a child’s needs, sad heart, and enormously forgiving nature. Not perfect, but very good.
