Take Shelter, director Jeff Nichol's most recent release, is most likely not on the top of your to-do list, but it should be. Combining economic hardships, possible schizophrenia, visions, weather disasters, and a truly powerful performance by Michael Shannon, Take Shelter turns out a sensational ride on a small budget.
Take Shelter stars Michael Shannon (Boardwalk Empire, Revolutionary Road) and Jessica Chastain (Tree of Life, The Help) as a couple trying to make it work during hard economic times. They are already faced with hardship, all the while trying to provide for their deaf daughter. Curtis (Shannon) begins to have visions of storms and weather disasters, prompting him to wonder if his family medical history might have something to do with it. Samantha (Chastain) tries to cope with this new turn of events but finds herself struggling to hold the family together in their home. Take Shelter is thrilling and psychological whirlwind that you certainly don't want to miss.
