Anyone who has seen this film knows that Michael Shannon deserves, at the very least, a nomination – if not the win itself.

My instant reaction when I see a trailer posted for a film that has been in theaters for a few weeks, is why exactly is this up again? Trailers tend to hint previewing a film like they do in theaters.

Because not everyone has access to any of the 55 theaters where Take Shelter is showing (myself included). OK!
Because we have thousands of readers from around the world, and Take Shelter is only showing in the US and Canada. Eh, ok.
Because international trailers are often a lot better than domestic trailers. Very True.
Because it’s an important movie worth all the attention we want to give it. Absolutely!

We seriously need to talk about Take Shelter, especially its last few minutes. I really want it to stay in the conversation. So people who haven’t seen this film yet, please give it a shot.

Lets make this movie happen!
What a great fresh new American Drama!
And Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain are such wonderful new stars. They belong to the old school, where talent was valued above most anything.
Living in such a troubled times, with so so much uncertainty in the midst, perhaps the film’s themes could really resonate with Oscar voters.
There doesn’t seem to be a huge marketing campaign, and my feeling is, that’s what matters most these days. C’est la vie.

At times I felt it dragged frustratingly, but other times Take Shelter was as potent as the best of Hitchcock or what Shyamalan should have grown into. I think this will help solidify nomination support for Chastain, but I think she will get it for The Help. Shannon may surprise with a nom as he did for Revolutionary Road, but my guess is he will not make it into the final five.

Hated it. Just loathed it. And that SURPRISED ME.

bill m, it depends on where you live. It only hit Montréal this past Friday, and I only got to see it this afternoon. I presume that it doesn’t open in the UK for a while yet.
I must say that I was blown away by Michael Shannon’s performance, and I also thought that this was Jessica Chastain’s best performance of the year.

The point is that the film hasn’t been released everywhere. And not everybody has seen the trailer, like me. So thanks for posting it.

What is the point of posting a trailer for a film that was released 3 weeks ago?

I have been a fan of Michael’s since the first time I laid eyes on him. He is so gifted. I cannot wait to see this and I hope he will be added to the Award’s Daily tracker for potential Best Actor nominees very soon. But more importantly, I hope Oscar voters will remember him when it’s time to nominate.

I saw Take Shelter last night. One of my favorites of the year for sure. Shannon is so extraordinary in it. He deserves any an all praise thrown his way.
