Take Shelter

Well. This was batshit.

I think I'd heard too much about it before watching. I thought it was absolutely beautifully shot though – some of the weather scenes, the birds flying in the sky, the part where all the furniture flies in the air in slow motion – fantastic.

It was a great exploration into the nature of mental health, and it definitely made me paranoid and uneasy. Most certainly a film that illustrates the elusive nature of truth and reality.

The scene where the main character has his outburst in public is incredible. I just wish I hadn't seen it a million times before on YouTube, because I think I spent the majority of the film waiting for him to lose his shit.

"There's a storm comin'!" 7/10
