      It took three to eight hours per day to apply all the prosthetic make-up on Aura Garrido for her role as Aneris.
    • Goofs
      When the island is first seen through the spyglass, after his conversation with Friend, the captain orders to prepare to weigh anchor. As the ship is already moving, the order is wrong, as weighing anchor means to raise the anchor from the sea floor and hoist it on board. The correct order would be "prepare to anchor", but even then, the ship is too far away for the order to make sense.

    Visually stunning and great atmosphere - Shame about the plotholes

    Great acting.

    Really novel story.

    Great visuals , landscapes, music and photography - so what could go wrong?

    The whole thing was obviously a morality tale about war and xenophobia and thats fine but the numerous plotholes and inconsistencies and unexplained-ness of the whole thing just made it look a bit silly and illogical.

    Such a shame as it grabbed the viewer right from the beginning and had a superlative atmosphere but it became slightly tedious with the unexplained attacks (was it purely xenophobic fish people?) and the just plain weirdness of the sex scenes much like many movies try to shock these days rather than entertain and it does draw similarities with Shape Of Water but sadly it is just above average when it could have been a really great film!
