TAKE SHELTER [2011]

Michael Shannon brilliantly portrays a family man experiencing the first few stages of paranoid schizophrenia in writer/director Jeff Nichols' subtle slow-burning drama Take Shelter.
The film is scary, sad and disturbingly hypnotizing with it's beautiful acting, editing, music and photography. Shannon's unsettling nuanced performance alone is worth taking a look at, while everything else that surrounds him gradually builds into a breathtaking finale.
