New Review For Movie Take Shelter
In my estimate, this unique and frequently arresting film suffers from the monotony of the lead players' affect, and from the film's urge to have its gloomy cake and eat it.
David Thomson-The New Republic A hallucinatory thriller anchored by a deeply resonant sense of unease.
Justin Chang-Variety When future film historians look back at the cultural fallout from America's financial collapse, 'Take Shelter' will be a key text. That is, if the storm doesn't sweep us all away.
Tom Huddleston-Time Out Shannon wonderfully modulates Nichols' portrait of a man whose mind and life seem to unravel before our eyes.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel There's a strong, unsettling sense of disease that runs through Take Shelter, the best drama of the year so far.
Tom Long-Detroit News In an era of empty entertainments, "Take Shelter" is built to last.
Joe Williams-St. Louis Post-Dispatch Director Nichols walks a tightrope between giving us a dark, Gothic tale of misunderstood prophecy and a sobering lesson on the state of mental health care in rural America.
Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service While Take Shelter isn't by any means perfect - writer/director Jeff Nichols could use a refresher course on editing - it's a powerful film, displaying a devolvement into insanity that ultimately proves to be quite visionary.
Erick Weber-NECN I could watch Michael Shannon stare at a wall for 90 minutes and still be captivated.
Chase Whale-Gordon and the Whale Take Shelter writer-director Jeff Nichols takes great care in detailing Curtis's journey and surrounding him with concerned loved ones.
Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema The riveting performances turn what on paper is a fairly simple climax into quite the emotional wallop.
Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com Quietly spellbinding until the film's astonishing final 20 minutes which make it one of the year's best.
Bruce Bennett-Spectrum (St. George, Utah) The role of Curtis in this film is a perfect fit for Shannon's intense and slightly unhinged screen persona.
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky-Ebert Presents At The Movies As a director, Nichols creates such an intense aura of dread and impending apocalypse during the visions that when Curtis simply describes one that is not shown in the film, we shudder at the mental image it paints.
Jason Buchanan-TV Guide's Movie Guide eksetazei to thema toy me to sebasmo, thn aisiodoksia, alla kai thn apeiria toy dhmioyrgika kai koinwnika anerxomenoy, oi rizes toy sth bathia Amerikh de toy epitrepoyne kan mia "atheh" proseggish
Joseph Proimakis-Movies for the Masses A film that's easier to admire (at least in part) than actually like, but it's also a difficult film to ignore.
Ken Hanke-Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) The dread in this slow simmer of a film comes not from a clearly definable sense of danger, but more from a sense of simply not knowing.
Donald Munro-Fresno Bee A richly drawn, and at times disturbing, portrait of one man's descent into madness.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune Michael Shannon is at his best as a man plagued by apocalyptic dreams that start to bleed into his everyday life. It's one of the best independent American films of the last decade, playing on current concerns about the future of the planet.
Simon Weaving-Screenwize There's something about Michael Shannon's looming height and malleable features that makes him a natural fit for playing tortured souls.
Christopher Lloyd-Sarasota Herald-Tribune Nichols has nothing positive to say, and spends more than two hours saying it. It's a superficial movie pretending to be deep.
Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] Parlays contemporary fears into the kind of relatable apocalyptic drama that relies less on big special effects and more on the ambiguous mental state of its protagonist.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman An intriguing, painful film about the angst that's currently in the air, about misreading the runes, about embarking on actions that might make us laughing stocks, about taking wagers with and against history.
Philip French-Observer [UK] A film for troubled times, Take Shelter taps into current anxieties about economic meltdown and climate change disaster with its scarily apt depiction of a man driven to the edge by apocalyptic fears.
