rapid_randy Review of Shelter

Shelter (I) (2014)

Slight above average film about the trials of America's homeless

[6/10 · 24 February 2016]

I'm very surprised to see none of the reviews containing the beginning of the credits at the end. "To the couple who lived outside my building" pretty much sums up the entire problem of the homeless problem. It's a great story for a movie but how many people actually go out of their way to help those in need? As noted in other reviews, the characters weren't likable enough to pull you in and failed to start the rain works at it's most sad moments. It's worth watching if you're a huge fan of the actors who tried their best to make a good film out of a not so great written story. Overall it was refreshing to see attention given to a subject that's forgotten and looked over every day. If anything good comes from this, let it be that we all take care of our fellow man and treat others as we'd like to be treated, no matter what religion, race, or sex they are.
