Review of Take Shelter

I've rated 2230 films here but this is the first time I write a review. I just have to say this. The film is very slow-paced but it holds your interest and you feel increasingly uneasy. You really get to understand the main character, you go through his madness together. I loved it. And then there were the last few minutes of the film... It felt like a betrayal. I want to rate it 10 and 1 at the same moment.. And now the SPOILERS! Be warned!)))

I think the perfect ending would be if they stopped when they got out of the shelter and saw that everything was fine. It would be an amazing film about people who fear things (not only schizophrenics but also people with different anxieties), it would be a great motivational and helpful film for them and people around them. This could have been a masterpiece about mental disorders. It could even have some therapeutic effect showing that fears are not real. Instead, we see that his delusions were real.. a slap in the face... out of the blue.. It feels like if some executives came and said that they needed a twist at the end to have better ratings and the crew couldn't do anything...

p.s. I wanted everyone to read the first part of the review that's why I checked it as no spoilers.
