Take Shelter

A new film about a man raising a deaf daughter is getting attention at the Sundance Film Festival. Take Shelter tells the story of a man driven to build a tornado shelter in his backyard. Heavy on special effects, this psychological thriller was bought by Sony Pictures Classics before the festival. Several reviewers have given it an "A". The Hollywood Reporter calls it a "devastating" film and a "knockout prestige picture" in it's review which you can read here.
