Leave your thoughts about Take Shelter.
| Globe and MailLiam LaceyThe story of a man afflicted with fearful visions, Take Shelter is a film that's hitting the right apocalyptic trumpet call at the right time. |
| The VineClem BastowThose who've never understood [anxiety] could do to see Take Shelter as a total immersion virtual reality experience. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezTake Shelter is paced slowly and deliberately, which is necessary to make believable whatever is tormenting Curtis. |
| Watertown Daily TimesAdam TobiasAre his dreams a sign of things to come or are they simply the creation of an individual who is teetering on the brink of insanity? |
| Cleveland Plain DealerClint O'ConnorMichael Shannon's spectacular performance grounds Take Shelter with a haunting realism. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob Bloom"Take Shelter" is one of the best movies of the year. In its own understated way, it also is one of the most frightening |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickMichael Shannon gives the performance of the year |
| The New RepublicDavid ThomsonIn 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. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceA raw, sympathetic tour de force, maybe Shannon's best screen performance to date. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenWith that frowning face - including a right eye that looks sleepy and a left one that looks crazed - Michael Shannon could play Jekyll and Hyde at the same exact time. |
