Product description

Plagued by a series of apocalyptic visions, a young husband and father questions whether to shelter his family from a coming storm, or from himself. When Curtis LaForche, a crew chief from Ohio, begins having dreams about a foreboding storm he starts building a shelter in his backyard for himself, his wife Samantha and his daughter, Hannah. As he tries desperately to stay sane, his obsessive actions become ever more erratic, placing his livelihood, his marriage and eventually his health in jeopardy. But the question remains: are Curtis’s apparitions real Or is he beginning to follow a past family member down the road to mental illness Beautifully shot, and led by extraordinary, powerhouse performances from Michael Shannon (Revolutionary Road, Boardwalk Empire) and Jessica Chastain (The Tree of Life, The Help), Take Shelter is one of the most magnificent and mesmerising thrillers of recent years and it’s gripping plotline will keep you guessing till the very end.

A film that can convey a sense of paranoia and anguish like just few others

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 30 August 2015

Verified Purchase

Take Shelter is a very anxious and paranoid film that really puts inside the mind of the character and makes you feel and live an increasing sense of disorientation. The way all this unfolds is very interesting, because it relies a lot on an accurate and uncommon use of editing and sounds, mixed with a well calibrated scripted and perfectly measured acting.

Brilliant. Unsettling, genious filmmaking and a monumental performance.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 5 July 2014

Verified Purchase

I saw this in the a theatre and it affected me in a way no other movie ever has. The build up, the tension, the metaphor for the anxiety of the modern man facing the uncertainty of trying times is done in the most amazing way.
It stays with you after you watch it. It's unnerving, it's brilliant.

Michael Shannon makes the film, and delivers a brilliant performance.

Absolutely reccomended.

¿APOCALIPSIS O ESQUIZOFRENIA?

Reviewed in Spain 🇪🇸 on 5 August 2018

Verified Purchase

Desde luego que es una película hipnótica, cuyo actor protagonista compone un Curtis de gran patetismo, pero no es apocalíptica, al menos en mi interpretación. Hay dos o tres posibles: 1-Al estilo Shyamalan: Curtis está cuerdo, posee unas facultades, desconocidas para él, que le han permitido prever una tormenta descomunal (están en Ohio, tierra, como todo el Medio Oeste, de frecuentes y destructores tornados, recordad que ya tenían un refugio). Ha desafiado la incomprensión y al final se demuestra su razón. No es que haya llegado el Apocalipsis, es una tormenta de enormes dimensiones. 2- Curtis está loco y al final su locura se extiende a su familia. Esto es ridículo médicamente, porque la esquizofrenia no se contagia, aunque un creador puede tomarse esa libertad. 3- La interpretación que suscribo: Curtis está enloqueciendo, la película es la historia de ese proceso, él mismo lo teme, su madre es esquizofrénica, consigue libros, está de acuerdo con ser puesto en tratamiento... La escena final es uno más de sus sueños, con una variación: los siete sueños anteriores fueron violentos, le atacaban su perro, su compañero, su mujer buscaba un cuchillo... ahora su familia está con él apoyándole y esto quizá significa algo para su curación (no soy psiquiatra). Recordemos que si se puede dar una definición de Curtis es "un hombre de familia". Además están en la playa (lejos del refugio, por cierto), lo que no se podían permitir al haber perdido Curtis su trabajo (aunque el médico lo recomendó: un artista deja varias posibilidades abiertas, no es definitivo). De este modo la película comenzaría con un sueño de lluvia aceitosa y terminaría con otro.

Me encantan las películas "de locos". Suponen un desafío para todo gran actor y muchas veces son las mejores de su carrera (hacer de loco convincentemente no es fácil): Shutter Island, Black Swan, Spider, Repulsion, El club de la lucha, Images, Lilith, Tres mujeres o en el cine asiático Dos hermanas, Soy un cyborg, Marebito, Kotoko... figuran entre mis preferidas. No así Una mente maravillosa, producto que parece salido de la factoría Disney.
