This movie blows

(Spoilers below)


I couldn't have given a $hit about the characters, they were so unlikeable. Camerawork is shoddy and shaky and all over place and the sound design was pi$$ poor.

Jennifer Connelly acts like a complete retard throughout, the scene where she's laughing like an old whacked out hag disturbed me. The beautiful voluptuous Connelly I once adored is now dead and buried and replaced by this modern death warmed up Hollywood stick insect. She is beyond ugly and washed up now. She was looking gaunt and skeletor like before she slimmed down even more for this role.

Nothing really happens in Shelter. Black man meets crazy old bag and they form a bond, eventually, and they do really boring $hit together.

Wasted opportunity for a good film.

Stand out moments was Connelly with spunk on her face from a morally bankrupt Security guard who lets her sleep in the boiler room of where he works in return for a blowjob, then she has sex with him for money, doing her from behind in the bathroom and her black boyfriend catches them in the act, and kills the guy. Then she holds the dead security guys bleeding head and whimpers loudly over and over again. god it was nauseating.

I felt nothing for these characters and hoped they would die. Luckily, one of them does.

Go and watch Requiem for a Dream instead, where you can see the real Jennifer Connelly before she mutilated herself into a crack whore lookalike. A way better film about drugs minor the homelessness.

Shelter is a miserable empty experience and is a failure. Her cardboard sign should have said "I used to be pretty" instead.
