Movie Reviews of Shelter

Movie Review: Shelter Review
Summary: 5 Stars

Shelter was A Great Story and Well Executed Movie. It was a type of story that could really Hit Home for a lot of People! I thought It was Wonderful! A Little Short, But I Loved every minute of it. I Loved that it told the story from Zachs Point of View. It showed the troubles with coming to the Fact that he actually did like another person and that it Happened to be a Guy. Also liked the fact that you could just look at those two and never even think that they would be a couple. They could actually just pass off as two Best Friends. This Movie could Help One that is dealing with coming out like Zach is doing throughout this movie. They can Relate on the same level. Simply Wonderful! Great Ending!!

It got to my home well before the date that was set. Everything was fine with the movie. No Scratches, and Overall in Great Condition!

Movie Review: Excellent film worth watching many times
Summary: 5 Stars

I love how this film was done. It was a "down-to-earth" tender story about finding love, building a future and that sometimes families are defined through interpersonal interactions more so than by blood. It was about realizing your dreams, manifesting them through multiple challenges, and about the sacrifices that Love sometimes requires. It was realizing that it was better to live honestly, be true to your nature, and of overcoming one's fears. I was impressed by the simplicity of the scenes and the richness in their content. I liked the choice of neighborhoods and the lack of pretentiousness. It was nice seeing it based in San Pedro California near to where I grew up, and at some of the local surfing places I used to go with friends that are not as "straight" as some would like to believe. This film is a definite keeper.

Movie Review: Heartwarming and Heartbreaking
Summary: 5 Stars

Shelter
Is the kind of movie I can watch over and over again
Partly due to the soundtrack imperticularly the song "Lie To Me" by Shane Mack .
It's your story about a young man Zack played by Trevor Wright struggling with family, responsibilities,Love, acceptance and the fear of being different as well as feeling guilty about being poor .
Zack's love intrest Shaun played by Brad Rowe is older self assured ,comfortable with who he is and doesn't have financial worries not to mention he's Zack's best friends brother..
Zack falls in love with Shaun,Shaun has been infatuated with Zack for a couple of years unbeknownst to Zack,Zack tries to disassociate himself from those feelings,Shaun is patient loving and kind and the rest makes for a beautiful alternative love story.

Movie Review: Great movie
Summary: 5 Stars

The casting and the performance were well executed in Shelter. Too bad we don't see movies like this in the mainstream but it's getting better -- but never enough. I enjoyed the locations. The scenery conveyed a cold and lonely environment.

Trevor Wright is perfect for this role. Brad Rowe is a sincere and sympathetic character. You really get sense of how much he loved Zach and most importantly respected his choices. The script, the locations and the actors are incredible! I recommend it.

Brad Rowe's fans ought to check out this documentary titled My Big Break, if you haven't yet. It's about his life and was quite surprising to watch. He is an interesting guy who has definitely had to deal with a lot in his own life. See it if you haven't yet and watch Shelter.

Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

I originally rented this movie...almost didn't because most gay movies (in my opinion) aren't that good, but I only regret I didn't see it sooner.I ordered it the same day I first watched it and have since watched it several times. The people in it all seem real, hopefully the biggest compliment an actor can get, and talk like actual people. A common criticism of the movie is that its too short. While I agree the storyline could have been even more developed (and in truth I think I just don't want to leave Zach's life...), there is a charm to its short length and because of the small investment in time to watch it I have watched it much more than I would have if it was 2 or more hours. Also a great soundtrack. The music fits with every scene. One of my all-time favorites of any type of movie.
