When Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water premiered in late 2017, it forced moviegoers to suspend disbelief and become invested in the budding romance between a human woman and a humanoid amphibian man. And while the film itself is indeed a beautiful love story, it also involves, uh, fairly gratuitous fish-on-lady sex scenes, which is not something audiences have ever been challenged to wrap their minds around before.

If there’s any movie out there begging for a Leslie Jones-style breakdown, it’s this one, and Jones doesn’t disappoint.

And eventually, she made it to the end of the movie, but was clearly not buying the happily ever after stuff:

Let those of us who didn’t want to smoke a joint after The Shape of Water cast the first stone.
