'The Shape of Water' is up for 13 Oscars but some critics still hated it - here are the worst reviews the best-picture frontrunner got
Fox Searchlight
With 13 nominations, Guillermo del Toro's "The Shape of Water" is up for the most Oscars this year.
The film, which has a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes (and an audience score of 78%), has received mostly positive reviews.
But some critics hate it.
A lot of the negative criticism stems from a lack of fleshed-out, three-dimensional characters, leaving some wondering if Del Toro sacrificed character development for stunning visuals.
A few negative reviews haven't stopped the success of this movie so far. It won best director and best motion picture drama at the Golden Globes in January. "The Shape of Water" is a favorite to win several Oscars including best director and best original score.
But they are still interesting to look at.
Here are some of the worst reviews of "The Shape of Water" from critics:
