"It's hard to explain, because it's not just a dream. It's a feeling."

Forget about Martha Marcy May Marlene and its impossible-to-remember title. If you're interested in watching a 2011 film that delves into the most obscure depths of a character's ostensibly paranoid mind and goes further than just TOUCHING on the difficulties experienced by someone who may or may not be losing hi... read more

In general, movies of fantasy genre try to make believable a incredible situation. With "Take Shelter" is exactly the opposite.

Nichols, his young director, wants to play too many sticks in a ridiculous grandstanding exercise as hollow as his tornadoes. The film is halfway around without reaching any definition without understanding their proposals. The birds that a... read more

"It's hard to explain, because it's not just a dream. It's a feeling."

Take Shelter is further proof that independent motion pictures are one of the most reliable sources of excellence in today's unstable cinematic climate. Rather than an in-your-face thriller reliant on big special effects, Take Shelter is a quietly involving, harrowing drama with a lot on its mind. The movie medit... read more

" Date: 9/1/2020 Viewed: Crackle First Viewing Note: I always wanted to see this movie for years because I remember seeing a trailer for it when I saw Captain America: The First Avenger back in 2011. I end up forgetting about the movie and I never had the chance to watch it. Better late than never, I'm finally watching this movie for the first time on Crackle (As of 9/1/2020). After watching the movie for the first time, I thought it was pretty good. Take Shelter is a well-made movie that is ve"

Miika's Movie Diary - 2020 (134 movies items)

"18.1. Vahvoilla roolisuorituksilla varustettu psykologinen draama. Take Shelter sisältää niin hyvää perhedraamaa kuin ripauksen trillerimäisiä elementtejä, ja lopputulos on eheä. Joitain kysymyksiä jäi auki, mutta se toisaalta tukee elokuvan mystisyyttä ja päähenkilön harhaisuutta."

Fall Horrorfest 2018 (40 movies items)

" Watched October 24th Rating: Streamed on Shudder In the vast pool of media that uses mental illness as a trope in the horror genre, Take Shelter is probably one of the best quality and least offensive. It was somewhat anxiety-inducing to watch- it really just felt like a movie about a guy having a nervous, psychological breakdown for the vast majority of it. I liked that he was aware of his genetic predisposition for mental illness, his attempts to go get professional help, wrapped up in this"
