Movie Reviews of Shelter
Movie Review: Sensible shoes :)
Summary: 5 Stars
Shelter is an incredible love story. But it is also much more than that.
The acting is good, the story is incredible. The love story is sweet and simple and unexpected--finding love with your best friend's brother.
But what I find most exceptional about this film is a basic underlying theme that sometimes gay people are the ones with the common sense. Obviously, in Zach's family, only Zach and Cody have any common sense. Zach feels an extreme sense of obligation to Cody while it is painfully obvious that Cody's mother is lacking in maternal instinct.
I think at first many will find Jeanne, Cody's mother, to be a somewhat shocking character in her nearly total disregard for her son's well being. Sadly, it is all too common.
In the end, Shelter is a beautiful love story where pure and simple love is found among a sad and complicated situation and it is pure magic that a family is born out of all the turmoil.
Movie Review: Absolutely Amazing!!!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
All I can say is BUY THIS MOVIE!!! It is one of the best movies I've seen in a very long time.Movie Review: really moving and heartfelt story
Summary: 5 Stars
I really loved this film... I love that it's not just about being gay, but about finding yourself and taking chances. That relationships are not just about sex but about sharing and discovering. I think the story is great and Trevor Wright does an excellent job. I wish it could have been longer but well... really check this one out, you won't be disappointed. Movie Review: New Sweetness
Summary: 5 Stars
Somehow 'Shelter' expands the definition of sweetness: it adds strenght to it, inspiration, and makes it extraordinary lively and colourful. This is not a feel-good movie, it is a genuine journey into well-being.
And thus it ends much to soon. I know only one film that has even stronger moments between the two male leads -slightly more sensual too- that I immediately rewatched after 'Shelter' to fill the void: Juste Une Question d'Amour. And oh boy, these two films are a match made in heaven!
Movie Review: Finally, The Movie I Have Been Waiting For!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been waiting for so long to watch a movie like this...I was starting to wonder if one was ever going to be made. As the movie was playing I could feel myself getting more and more involved and hooked in this story and these characters.
I found myself starting to relate to some of the parts of the story, like, when they're just laying in bed together talking and enjoying each other, my partner and I do that all the time. When Zach was pacing back and forth deciding if he should go see Shaun, I have done that too. Zach being "involved" with someone else when he has his first kiss with Shaun; this happened to me. One other example is how Zach let himself fall for Shaun and let things happen and how this would be his first boyfriend. My partner and I have been together since December 2002, he is my first, and we are now engaged.
Thank you to Jonah Markowitz for bringing us this movie and to Trevor Wright and Brad Rowe for making these characters so believable. In my own opinion this movie just become the one to beat, I don't know if any other gay movie will ever come close.
