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 appear... homage to Hitchcock? ahahahah... It is true that, at times, the action reminds Night Shyamalan cinema, but the worst (The Village, Lady in the Water...); particularly, reminded me sequences of "Kairo" ("Pulse"), of another one actual "genius", Kiyoshi Kurosawa, especially the end.
And its end, how could it be otherwise, opts for premonition and left me more empty than the beach that serves as the stage. Bluff.
