Take Shelter (15)

USA 2011

Thanet film society

Loving husband and father Curtis's contentment with life is disrupted when he begins having dreams of an approaching apocalypse.When the dreams later develop into waking visions, his attempts to protect those close to him from what he believes is an approaching storm start to alienate him from his increasingly concerned family. Are his visions real, or is Curtis in the first stages of a psychological breakdown? Take Shelter is a tense and gripping drama, but also a touching and emotionally involving one, a beautifully nuanced study of a man whose determination to protect his family may well be transforming him into the primary threat. Only the second feature from talented newcomer Jeff Nichols, it boasts a superb central performance from Michael Shannon.
