Take Shelter (2011)

I didn't see a thread for this, so I figured I would start one.

I recently saw this film and thought it was phenomenal. Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain both give outstanding performances. It's really a shame that Shannon didn't get a nomination for this role. I really can't say enough about the work he did in this film.

For fear of ruining the story for anyone, I'm going to refrain from giving a synopsis.

However, I will say it's a wholly unique film with some outstanding and unsettling visual effects, top tier performances, a beautiful and unnerving musical score, and a story line that will give you goosebumps, yet move you at the same time.

Truly haunting film. This and Drive are neck-and-neck for my personal favorite film of 2011.

I've already pre-ordered this and truly can't wait to experience it again.
