Take Shelter



What I liked:
  • Michael Shannon is an amazing actor and gives a riveting performance.
  • Jessica Chastain is also amazing.  She has owned 2011 (see The Help, The Debt, and Tree of Life).
  • It's a Boardwalk Empire reunion with Elias (Shea Whigham) and Agent Neslon Van Alden (Shannon).
  • Not only does it take place in Ohio but it was also partially shot here.
  • Kathy Baker!
  • Katy Mixon can steal a scene with just a look.
  • It is a very interesting story that keeps you guessing until the end.
What I didn't like:
  • It moves a little too slow for me.

Grade: A-
