Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A hallucinatory thriller anchored by a deeply resonant sense of unease.

rotten:
In my estimate, this unique and frequently arresting film suffers from the monotony of the lead players' affect, and from the film's urge to have its gloomy cake and eat it.

fresh:
When future film historians look back at the cultural fallout from America's financial collapse, 'Take Shelter' will be a key text. That is, if the storm doesn't sweep us all away.

Shannon wonderfully modulates Nichols' portrait of a man whose mind and life seem to unravel before our eyes.

fresh:
There's a strong, unsettling sense of disease that runs through Take Shelter, the best drama of the year so far.
