Beautifully done –acting and direction
It’s not really about rich and poor, it’s about honesty and honor, and the lack of it.

The one stand-up guy (Trevor Wright) reminds us that there actually *are* good, selfless people in the world. Zach has to deal with and master an unfair world, and part of that iniquity is himself, because he’s gay. Trouble outside, trouble inside.

This is a very kind, wonderfully acted movie. Kudos to all involved.

It’s odd that we need straight actors to convince us that gay folk are actually human, but these guys do it without apologies.

We should all be so kind.

I don’t think you’ll regret watching it. Just give it a chance.
I remember when “Brokeback Mountain” first came out. It caused an uproar. It was considered to be a landmark in “gay cinema,” and it was supposed to “change your life.” Well. I don’t really consider it a landmark, and it didn’t change my life. When I first saw BBM, I didn’t like it. It took another viewing or two for it to grow on me. And while now, after two years, I can enjoy the movie from a detached position and consider it to be a well-directed and well-acted movie, I still don’t really see what the big deal is.

And let me just say one thing: “Brokeback Mountain” has NOTHING on “Shelter.” Have you ever watched a movie and just instantly fell in love with it? It’s an indescribable feeling. You ultimately just feel like that movie is made for you to watch, to enjoy, and to hopefully implore others to watch. Not harass, but just let people know that you think it’s a good film. The last movie I really, truly remember feeling that way about was “Finding Neverland” back in 2004. November of 2004, actually, so it’s been almost four years since I’ve felt this way about a movie.

The summary on IMDb does not do the film justice. To really, and accurately, grasp the concept, you need to watch it. If you go on Rotten Tomatoes to check out its score, I fear you will be swayed from watching it. I would know; it almost swayed me. I went on Rotten Tomatoes to check out the score, and it’s not exactly top-notch. Not many people voted on it, but it still does not have a high score. As I was looking at the meter and reading some short reviews, I thought to myself, “Great. I wanted to watch this movie, but what if I’m just wasting my time?” So I compromised. I watched the movie online, in parts. I skipped to the last part, the end of the movie, and watched solely that.

And you know what? I LOVED IT! I didn’t think it was possible to fall in love with eight minutes of a movie, let alone the end of a movie, but I did. And there it was. I’m being completely serious. After watching the end, naturally I wanted to watch the rest. And I did. And the whole thing was just beautiful.

Trevor Wright is astounding as Zach, a young man who’s struggling with his life on a day-to-day basis with his family, his on-again/off-again girlfriend, and his job. While watching him, it’s almost like you’re being pulled into his world and you’re not watching someone act. It’s like you’re watching Zach go about his day and the problems he endures. I hope that Trevor gets more critical acclaim for this role, as I’m not sure if anyone else could have done it as well as him.

Brad Rowe as Shaun is funny, charming, and sweet as a confidante, friend, and partner to Zach. He’s outgoing, friendly, and knows how to put a smile on Zach’s, and Cody’s (Zach’s nephew) face. He and Trevor have chemistry on screen in such a way that it’s hard to believe these are two actors. Again, it’s like you’re just watching them go about their lives.

Too many movies with homosexual themes are forced, awkward, over-acted, or any combination of those previous things. To be able to capture a movie that literally revolves around family and love and intimacy, without falling into the trap that so many other movies have (including “straight” romantic comedies), amazes me. I feel privileged to have been able to take part in the magic that is this movie. To me, it’s a new favorite and has surpassed several of my other favorites based on acting, direction, charisma, and overall wow-factor. That’s exactly what this movie made me do: Go WOW! The love and intimacy are genuine. The struggle and longing for a family is realistic and heartwarming. And the bottom line is that the characters are human beings that you empathize with, care about, and hope for the best for.

I give this movie 9 out of 10. It really deserves 10 out of 10, but I feel compelled to warn you that, on occasion, SOME parts are just a TINY bit overacted. Those parts mostly involve the words “cool” or “great”. Those two words are used many times throughout the film, and it’s a little bit annoying, but it’s not a big deal. It’s mostly just what I imagine is supposed to be California-speak, though I myself am not from California and am therefore not a reliable resource on the subject.

Please just give the movie a chance. I don’t think you will regret it. I think you will enjoy it, and hopefully find the magic in it that I did.
