In my estimate, this unique and frequently arresting film suffers from the monotony of the lead players' affect, and from the film's urge to have its gloomy cake and eat it.
David Thomson, The New Republic

When future film historians look back at the cultural fallout from America's financial collapse, 'Take Shelter' will be a key text. That is, if the storm doesn't sweep us all away.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out

Shannon wonderfully modulates Nichols' portrait of a man whose mind and life seem to unravel before our eyes.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

There's a strong, unsettling sense of disease that runs through Take Shelter, the best drama of the year so far.
