Take Shelter (2011)

First rate, there's no doubt. Watching Take Shelter is like entering a Wyeth painting. It's easy to see how carefully Nichols concocts his films but I just can't shake my negative-to-not-so-sure feelings on the ending. Pacing, acting, and concept are definite strengths.

  1. ross It's almost a horror film. I was terrified. Without dipping into spoilers, did you feel the ending was a cop out?

  2. MildredFierce Yeah, I sort of did. I'd really like to hear how Nichols justified it.
