Hollywood Reporter review:
A story of love and survival set in places where the homeless seek refuge in New York City, Shelter throws Jennifer Connelly and Anthony Mackie together as two very different kinds of people who come to rely on each other. The directing debut of Connelly's husband, actor Paul Bettany, the picture will sound to jaded observers like a project designed to win the actress another Oscar, especially after one hears how she has transformed her body physically, in the manner of so many awardees before her. But Shelter plays like something more sincere, an empathetic if imperfect attempt to imagine life on the streets and find a specific story there. Two thoroughly convincing performances carry the film, which despite some truly rough images will play well with audiences looking for serious fare.

Paul Bettany's Shelter is a movie made with compassion about what happens to people who fall by the wayside

Paul Bettany's Shelter may divide audiences but there's no denying it's another impressive & gutsy performance by Jennifer Connelly. #TIFF
This is all really promising! I hope it gets released in the UK.
