Absent or imperfect fathers have been a recurring theme in del Toro’s films, given affecting treatment here in the agonized relationship between egotistical scientist Victor Frankenstein and the unnamed Creature he brings to life out of stitched-together body parts.Those roles are played, respectively, by Oscar Isaac with the wiry intensity of a tortured artist, his strutting arrogance steadily consumed by remorse; and Jacob Elordi in a revelatory performance notable for its expressive physicality but perhaps even more so for its innocence, its deep well of yearning and the crushing emptiness that follows as the Creature comes to understand who and what he is. The movie questions whether monstrousness is something defined by appearance or actions.-Hollywood Reporter
“Visually, Frankenstein is a feast of impeccable costumes and production design.”-The Film Maven
“Guillermo del Toro handles Mary Shelley’s canonical text with the tenderness of a butterfly, exulting in the author’s wisdom and sense of high tragedy while bringing his own steampunk spin to the material.”-Little White Lies
