Review of Take Shelter (2011) by Ste H — 16 Feb 2014

This is a movie that has not gotten the recognition it deserves. I don't think Michael Shannon is all that versatile of an actor, but it is difficult to think of many others who could deliver such frightening, psychological desperation as he has done.

I was on the edge of my seat literally the entire time watching this, and the ambiguity throughout was something that could have easily meandered to a crash but instead built up for a thought-provoking ending that left me with goosebumps.
