While Take Shelter isn't by any means perfect - writer/director Jeff Nichols could use a refresher course on editing - it's a powerful film, displaying a devolvement into insanity that ultimately proves to be quite visionary.

An intelligent bone chilling art-house film about dealing with our anxiety in the modern world.

Tight editing and pace make for a careful and thoughtful film that is a very strong piece of cinema.

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

Director Nichols walks a tightrope between giving us a dark, Gothic tale of misunderstood prophecy and a sobering lesson on the state of mental health care in rural America.

A hallucinatory thriller anchored by a deeply resonant sense of unease.

In an era of empty entertainments, "Take Shelter" is built to last.
