I give it a two star rating for the acting only, which i thought was pretty good. i'm not sure what this movie was supposed to do. i usually stick... with a movie, even though i think it's boring until the end to see what happens. this is one of those i wish i'd have turned off. i would not recommend this to anyone and personally don't understand why it has received high ratings.

Interesting, but very, very dark. Not sure just what the director/writer was trying to achieve. Very well acted, if you really want to see mental... reakdowns well acted. The ending leaves you wondering why you were there.....or were you????? Full Review

One of the best I have seen inb years, albeit that i am a fan of dystopic books and films. this was done with the gentle and graceful trip towhat... e knew had to be the conclusion...Am perplexed by the number of people at my viewing that were totally confused by the ending. are subtleties so rare in film today>>>?????

Contrary to the raves of critics, this is not a very good movie. The movie lurches along at a snail's pace. There is simply nothing engaging about... e plot. By a third of the way through the movie I lost interest in why the lead character is even building a shelter at all. The director makes excessive use of lengthy images of the sky, sometimes cloudy, sometimes filled with birds.The ending, an unmerciful two hours from the start is no shocker but rather only one two endings the plot allows.

The film concludes not with a "surprise ending" but with a series of shots that brilliantly summarize all that has gone before. This is masterful filmmaking.Full Review
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Nichols has said that the idea for the film emerged from a free-floating anxiety that he sensed in the world at large, the feeling that everything we treasure in life could be lost in an instant. That sensation permeates this strikingly original movie - especially its enigmatic mind-fuck of a finale, which will haunt you for several lifetimes.Full Review

Writer-director Jeff Nichols builds his elegantly shot, weather-sensitive horror story in waves of tension that crest as if pulled by tempests.Full Review

Nichols has a genius for making landscapes and everyday objects resonate like crazy, for nailing the texture of dread.Full Review
