There are first-time filmmaker flaws — at times, the characters feel like pawns in a pre-ordained plot — but Bettany has a real gift for finding grace in the grimness. Read full review

Despite its terrific performances and its great use of locations, Shelter doesn't have enough substance to hold your attention or linger in the mind for long. Read full review

An admirable attempt at presenting a difficult subject that suffers from an eventual pileup of melodramatic happenstances. Read full review

Its intentions are noble. Its gaze is harshly realistic. But it’s also overly melodramatic. Bettany has the makings of better director than screenwriter. Read full review

A compelling story might have succeeded in overcoming those cosmetic distractions, but Bettany only offers an overwrought romance. Read full review

The characters' marginalized social standing is less indicative of a real-life epidemic and more akin to window dressing. Read full review

Some people will find it too emotionally wrenching to watch, but there are moments of raw, understated sensitivity, encapsulating the ache of regret at the heart of Shelter.

Homeless people are a big item in today's world. How do we help them? How do we keep more people from becoming homeless? To help them, we need to know how they got there. This movie tells the "how" of two people.
