"There's a storm coming like nothing you've ever seen, and not a one of you is prepared for it."
There was a time not too long ago when I would not have been able to finish a movie like this. I had my first panic attack in 2010, and every day since has been a struggle to feel comfortable in my own skin. You can even see when I failed to watch Punch-Drunk Love just over two years ago, shortly after I joined Letterboxd. Take Shelter has a similar psychological intensity that cracks open Michael Shannon's skull and spills out a pool of his deepest and darkest fears that slowly seeps into the celluloid the way you might expect from…

Jeff Nichols' 2011 psychological drama, Take Shelter, throws us into the mind of the "mentally unstable" protagonist, showing the audience exactly how mental health issues can slowly erode one’s well-being and affect the lives of those around him. It’s slow and smooth, deliberately developing a mood of creeping dread that ultimately makes the film so satisfying to watch once it concludes. The deftness of the characterisations and the constant sense that things are more complex than they're perceived, looms throughout its entirety, crafting an impressively sustained slow burn that, despite its prolonged final act, will resonate with audiences long after the credits roll. Nevertheless, just being a great allegory for mental health is good, but where the film truly succeeds…

There aren't many things more rewarding than expectations met. This film lived up to its expectations and then some.
This film transfixed me for its entire running time. From the first roll of thunder to the last. It is a testament to great film making when a film manages to captivate its audience to such a degree that time doesn't seem to have the same quality it had before you started watching. Take Shelter does that, it is simply impossible to not be pulled into the head of its unfortunate and compelling hero.
Jeff Nichols' film is visually stunning. He has the ability to create truly mesmerizing images it is simply impossible to take your eyes off. Be it a…

If you can’t handle me at my schizophrenic, you don't deserve me at my clairvoyant.

''There is a storm coming, like none of you have ever seen. And none of you are prepared for it."
Peak Michael Shannon, he deserved an Oscar nom for his performance. Still one of the biggest snubs of last decade.
