If Michael Shannon is in yer movie, he’s probably playing some crazed person, with a good heart that’s probably misguided. If Jessica Chastain is in yer movie, it means it’s a movie from 2011, cause she is like in one out of every five of them. IT’S TRUE!!! So what happens when the two are in a movie together? Â They play parents to a deaf girl (Tova Stewart), and have troubles juss like any other working class Ohioans do… CEPT THEY HAVE MORE PROBLEMS, LIKE A DEAF CHILD, AND MOREEE!!!! Cause Michael Shannon is a crazed person, with a good heart that’s probably misguided… OR IS IT???? Â DUNNO!!!??!?!
In Jeff Nichols‘ well-crafted, but udderly dull Take Shelter, Shannon is seeing cloudy and birdy signs of the apocalypse, in dreams and in reality(????), and so he must do what he feels is right – expand his existing storm shelter into a mega one!!! So the movie is basically Michael Shannon looking up at the sky, having bad dreams, and working on this shelter, rinse, repeat, snores, we get it, we don’t, OK, so it had a nice lil ending, but did it have to take 2 hours to get there?  It didn’t.  Don’t gimme Shelter!
He & He: Shelter marks the 5 screen pairing of Michael Shannon and Shea Whigham.  wonder if casting agents get a package discount
Verdictgo:Â Sum Merit But No Stinkin Badges
Shelter doesn’t hold it together currently in limited release
and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
