‘Take Shelter’ opening Friday
The movie: "Take Shelter"
When: Opening Friday at local theaters
Cast: Michael Shannon, Jessica Chastain, Shea Whigham
Director: Jeff Nichols
The story: Plagued by apocalyptic visions, a young husband and father wonders whether to shelter his family from the impending storm -- or from himself.
The buzz: Writer-director Nichols' drama earned acclaim at January's Sundance film festival, then captured two awards at the Cannes film festival in May. Shannon starred in Nichols' 2007 "Shotgun Stories" -- and Chastain is in seemingly everything lately, from "The Help" to "Tree of Life" and "The Debt."
