16 year old street-wise Apple (Vanessa Hudgens) has never had an easy life. Her mother, June Bailey (Rosario Dawson), is an addict and prostitute, is verbally and physically abusive, and is grooming her daughter to follow in her footsteps. Apple knows the streets, alleys and motels like the back of her hand but wants more from her life. She possesses a tenacious, tough, indomitable spirit, and will not surrender to fate. Apple runs away from her mother and tracks down her father whom she has never known, as he was only 19 when he got Apple's mother pregnant. Apple begs her now Wall Street Broker father, Tom Fitzpatrick (Brendan Fraser), to take her in. In the few days under her father's care, she learns she's become pregnant by a kid from the streets she met on the train, who now wants nothing to do with her. She is forced to leave her father's home because of her choice to give birth to the baby she is carrying. Apple runs away again, and is eventually taken under the wing of Father McCarthy (James Earl Jones), the chaplain of the local hospital after almost getting herself killed. He offers to let Apple live at a shelter for pregnant young women run by a spiritual woman named Kathy (Ann Dowd). It is here that Apple begins to tentatively interact with the other girls who are in the same predicament as she and gradually begins to make a family for herself.
Leave your thoughts about Gimme Shelter.
| Lawrence Journal-WorldJon NiccumA disturbing time capsule that showcases the anti-Woodstock |
| Matinee MagazineChuck RudolphConcepts of viewing that are often dealt with subconciously are brought to a blinding light by the Maysles Brothers. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendrickmuch like the '60s itself: both enthralling and incredibly disturbing |
| The New York Review of BooksElizabeth HardwickThere is death everywhere, and of every sort, in the dead, drugged eyes and in the jostling, nervous kicks and shoves. Everyone is a danger to himself and to others. |
| Not Coming to a Theater Near YouRumsey TaylorThere exist few films that exclaim their time's ideas with such gravity as Gimme Shelter. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThough upsetting, the film remains an eye-opening eyewitness report on the counterculture experience in its decline. |
| User ReviewJacob GThis is just like â??Woodstockâ?? but HEY! I enjoy this as well as in â??Woodstockâ??. It was about this free concert of the Rolling Stones and of course the shocking murder at the exact moment when the Rolling Stones are performing. I haven't seen any concert documentary as like this one. It is not just only a concert footage but also how this band goes through things in order to perform to many people. Anyhow, I still like this documentary as I like â??Woodstockâ?? because they're both phenomenal and really shows exactly those people (the audiences) and the bands performing their story to us and to everyone. |
| User ReviewEric MA fascinating and horrifying account of how what was supposed to be the West Coast's version of Woodstock turned into a nightmare, due to poor planning and questionable management choices (such as hiring the Hell's Angels to provide security). The Maysles Brothers' film begins as a promotional film about the Rolling Stones' 1969 U.S. Tour culminating at a free show at San Fransisco's Altamont Speedway and gradually captures the increasingly tense atmosphere as it escalates throughout the evening, climaxing at the death of a concert-goer at the hands of the Angels. One of the greatest rock documentaries of all time, and arguably the most chilling one. |
| User ReviewJenna RFlawless, superb, cinema verite account of the death of the optimism of the 1960s and the birth of the cynical 1970s. No narration needed, these images speak for themselves. Criterion restoration is nearly impeccable. |
| User ReviewTerry MA interesting and shocking look at the infamous Altamont nightmare. (my favorite part is the Jerry Garcia/Phil Lesh cameo) |
