Films you don't want to miss in March

Two Oscar-winning films

The recent 90th Academy Awards might have left some fans of two mega-hit films -- The Shape of Water and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri – feeling disappointed, given they enjoyed few wins relative to the many Oscar nominations each received.

Still, The Shape of Water, was the biggest winner that night, raking in four Oscars, including Best Production Design and Best Score as well as the Academy’s highest accolades of Best Director and Best Picture.

Directed by Guillermo del Toro, the fantasy drama concerns a mute janitor employed by a secret government laboratory who becomes enamored with an amphibious human-like creature.

The Shape of Water, which will show in Chinese theaters starting March 16, has won praise for its performances, screenplay, direction, visuals, production design, and background music.

Despite missing out on the Best Picture award, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, which debuted March 2 at Chinese cinemas, has received many positive reviews in Douban, China's leading film rating platform.

It scored 8.7 out of 10 points, based on more than 100,000 moviegoer reviews.
