Oct 22, 2012 Agree that the actors were great but the story is so-so in mho. Rotten Tomatoes' critics like it much more though: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/take_shelter/

I'm not exactly sure what I just watched, but Michael Shannon is an amazing actor! This movie might be about premonitions, or mental disease, or even something else, but it's watchable because of him. The tension just his face brings to…

I found this an oddly disturbing and unsatisfactory movie. Was the ending only another bad dream? Can we really believe the national weather service would miss such a gigantic hurricane without issuing warnings as their hometown had? …

An intriguing story of how a man deals with reoccurring forboding dreams/nightmares and halucinations of highly disturbing, disorienting events accompanied by what he believes to be an approaching apocolyptic storm.

A very disturbed father with the shelter. Lost his job over using excavator to dig the tornado shelter. Way too long 2 hours.

If you enjoyed "A Beautiful Mind" then you should watch this movie. Psychic, crazy or prophet, you decide.

The excellent performances carried this film. Michael Shannon plays a very dumb character who does stupid things like not sharing his thoughts with his wife or anyone else for too long. His behavior is suspect. His mother is in a home and…

This drama looks into the mind of a person suffering from schizophrenia. Quite interesting and intriguing as if you view a suspenseful thriller.

No. Don't take shelter. Take aspirin instead - 'Cause this demented, little horror movie is one headache-inducing mess that, literally, stretches credulity to the point of snapping under its own weight. Anyway - If you happen to be…

Yawn!.... "Take Shelter" is a painfully predictable, seen-it-all-before horror film. I think that the best way to watch "Take Shelter" is in fast-forward mode. The dialogue is all nonsense so you won't be missing a thing. This nutty…

This movie is incredible. Light use of CGI enhances the overall feeling of dread that grows throughout the film. The ending never fails to give me chills.

If "Take Shelter" is really supposed to be considered great movie-making - Then - IMO - The film industry is in mighty big trouble. I don't know how any of the actors in this picture could've kept a straight face, delivering their…

C'mon, now! Surely this demented, little "Dizzy Daddy" story was (in reality) supposed to be regarded as a black comedy - 'Cause I honestly can't imagine anyone (in their right mind) taking this truly laughable "prophecy" nonsense at face…

This movie was ok. It was not what I had expected! It is not as good as it could have been. The acting not very good and the movie seems to be missing alot.

Very slow moving film. I was wondering what the point was. This movie got better as it went along until I thought it was quite interesting.

i can't really add anything new to the previous comments. but i do want to repeat very good acting. i've become a fan of michael shannon since watching him in "99 Homes" (one of the main reasons i wanted to watch this movie)

Good film/photography work, but the storytelling is a bit long and, for me, a little too ambiguous.

like watching an accident happening in slow motion, very, very unsettling

Jeff Nichols' amazing film, part psychodrama part social metaphor, is rife with contemporary angst. In fact fear seems to saturate every frame as Curtis obsesses over his family's security, his personal health, and an uncertain future…

A strange, erratic, unsatisfying, try to be Twilight Light Zone/Hitchcock theme movie.

This movie i thought was absolutely brilliant. It is paced well (not alot of action folks which makes it feel more realistic) If you want a good meaty psychological game feeling movie, check this one out!

This is a very slow movie but if you can put up with it, you get a somewhat rewarding ending. Certain aspects of the movie could have been done way better but overall the movie is not bad.

I have a love/hate feeling about movies that leave an open ending. Its a good movie that opens the door to discussion but you will never know what the writer truly wanted to convey and this isnt the type of movie to generate a sequel (it…
