Take Shelter

Michael Shannon's acting is amazing (as always).
I love the atmosphere of the movie and how intense it is.
One of my favorite movies!

Great Film ;) Well worth watching

Easily one of the best from 2011

Thought this was an excellent film. Great atmosphere through the whole thing and brilliant ending.

it was a fantastic film. A little bit like Melancholia in some ways. I would love to have seen an alternative ending whereby when Curtis opens the Shelter doors. All you see is destruction proving he is not mad. THE END.. I just think the build up to him opening the doors would have been more satisfying. I have great respect for Michael Shannon, he was fantastic in Revolutionary road. I have also been following the career of Jessica Chastain since Jolene...and i can see a few oscars for these two in the future.

I started it on Netflix because I didn't know what to watch and... I'm surprised.
This film is fantastic. I am speechless.

This was truly a "hidden gem" that I stumbled across on a list of "Psychological Thrillers" and it checked off pretty much all the boxes. I rarely give a film a "9" (it's rare today to find anything that rates above a "7", honestly) but this movie definitely pushed all the right buttons for me. The title and cover photo make it seem like "just another natural disaster" but this is so different. I was completely into it almost from the opening scene and with only 20 minutes left to go, I was aching to know how it was going to turn out! There was only one name I recognized in the entire cast (LisaGay Hamilton from _The Practice_ ) and she had barely a cameo role; I think she had three lines. But the acting by everyone was good (if not great) and the raw emotions, the psychology, the darkening mood of the entire film, the cinematography, the musical score, everything was spot-on in _Take Shelter_ . So glad I found this one because it was truly a great reprieve from the barrage of stupidity I've subjected myself to recently. Without giving away any details or spoilers, I will say that the special effects that came into play in this film were good but honestly, it was the storyline itself that was the masterpiece here. I don't know that I've ever seen Michael Shannon in anything other than this but he certainly carried his part beautifully. Superb job all the way around. If you haven't seen it and you're looking for something different, watch this while it's available on Hulu.

I love this movie! Love the small town, simple living vibe. The acting and story are both great.

Michael Shannon is always a win.
