Luke G Mar 20, 2019 That was terrible. One of the worst movies i have sat through, literally two hours of him making a shelter.

Anakin S Nov 6, 2018 This movie was one of the worst movies I have ever seem. It was listed in the horror/scifi section on Amazon, and the trailer looked decent, so we decided to give it a go for a new Halloween movie. Wow, what a mistake! It is so slow, you catch yourself finishing the sentences. The movie keeps circling to nowhere, and little is explained. There are more loose ends than a mop, and I'm not sure whether the movie was about mental illness, premonitions, familial interactions, or the disabled. It's a typical industry insider movie that no one really gets, but industry insiders want to seem like they know something, so they rave about it. See more

George S Sep 28, 2018 Powerful film. Filled with way more dread than most horror films I've scene.

Finn L Aug 12, 2018 Director Jeff Nichols gives his fill a nightmarish quality which is anchored by Michael Shannon's perfect acting job.

Hermione R Jun 24, 2018 Tense like a horror film, and bleak and depressing to go with it. The inevitable ending doesn't make it all ok, and in fact didn't even work that well. It's effectively done, if you like this sort of thing, but otherwise not worth putting yourself through. See more

Anakin L Jun 14, 2018 overprotective and immensely secured.. Take Shelter The chemistry among the lead characters; especially the relationship between Michael Shannon and Tova Stewart who plays her daughter, communicates in all levels with the audience through its subtle tone that it stays true to, till the last frame. The writing is strong and powerful and is aware of its character's range and properties that it uses it wisely and projects the best possible outcome at its most intense dramatic scene that stays with the audience even after leaving the screen. It is short on technical aspects like sound department, although it is shot beautifully with amazing camera work and perfect editing. Jeff Nichols; the writer-director, surpasses its thought-provoking script through his brilliant execution skills which speaks volume in here. The performance objective is satisfied utterly by the brilliant cast like Michael Shannon, Jessica Chastain and a delightful young talented actress named Tova Stewart. Despite of its grounded nature script, there are few fictionalized or fantasized sequences installed so perfectly that it leaves the audience in the awe of it. Take Shelter is overprotective and immensely secured of its character's perspective that helps fuel this character driven feature into reaching a far fetched idea. See more
