From master story teller, Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth), comes an other-worldly fairy tale, set against the backdrop of Cold War era America circa 1963. In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works, lonely Elisa (Sally Hawkins) is trapped in a life of silence and isolation. Elisa’s life is changed forever when she and co-worker Zelda (Octavia Spencer) discover a secret classified experiment. Rounding out the cast are Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, and Doug Jones.

– Alonso Duhalde. The Wrap

“It’s both weird and wonderful.” – Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
