When Curtis begins to have terrifying dreams, he keeps the visions to himself, channeling his anxiety into obsessively building a storm shelter in his backyard. His inexplicable behavior concerns those closest to him, but the resulting strain on his marriage and tension within his community can't compare with Curtis's privately held fear of what his dreams may truly signify.

Add a CommentA great drama about mental health and descend into insanity. Well acted and well directed. Pace is slow but the film continues to engage. However, by the end, I still don't know if Curtis, the protagonist, is indeed heading toward a mental breakdown. So the closing is open-ended for me.
I agree with rhys33 when he/she askes "Is the main character descending into mental illness or can he sense future events? This is a quiet movie, well acted and beautifully filmed." The ending should help you decide.
It dragged, wasn't very good at all.
SPOILER ALERT! The people that marketed this movie performed a major bit of false advertizing. This isn't what you think it's going to be, meaning, an artsy apocolyptic themed film. Instead, it's a slow moving study of a man's descent into paranoid schizophrenia. That being said, Michael Shannon is very good, he's the Christopher Walken of his generation and the film is painless but, I don't know what to make of the ending?
Take Shelter ---- DVD - 2012 ---- slow and very Boring ---- It needed a Director or Producer: with experience in this type of acting. ---- Written and directed by Jeff Nichols. ---- Enjoy! ---- RichardPaul (finished 3-2013)
A slow paced, nuanced and thoughtful movie, great acting and definitely worth seeing. Michael Shannon at his best.
I found it disturbing to watch, very slow, and poorly acted.
About a regular man with a regular job and a family to support. ..His descent into schizoprenia.. Very eye-opening. Makes me think about friends that have this disease. I had no idea about the details of this illness. Wonderful portrayals. He has a great wife..
Engaging, though perhaps a bit slower than it needs to be. The performances are convincing, the story interesting and thought provoking. I wasn't blown away, but still would recommend it.
A Very Slow Moving Movie save yourself one or two hours of your life and pass this movie on.Horrible story line. Poor performance. "I fast forwarded all the way."
