Absolutely amazing

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The acting in this movie is really good.

Been searching high and low for some good gay themed romance dramas, and it's really difficult to find any. Hollywood isn't exactly cranking them out and the Independents are more concerned with rehashing the same old. But "Shelter" is an engaging story about a young gay artist, played by Trevor Wright, living with his sister and her son and how he feels completely responsible for helping his sister take care of the kid. Trevor carries the whole movie. I think he's in every scene. He's a decent actor and proves capable of conveying complex emotions. He falls for a somewhat older gay guy, an acquaintance to the family, and has to choose between this budding romance and helping his sister raise her son. At the end there is a satisfying compromise. We get a glimpse of what it looks like to have two dads raising a son.

I have always thought that Zach was such a good role model for Cody like gee, he was just honestly caring. The little fella that played Cody was adorable with his cute long hair. I say he's not like that anymore unfortunately! Such a great little actor though!I loved how Shaun also took care of Cody. I'm so glad Zach found someone special to him. Life was so hard for Zach, due to his sister not being there for his nephew 24/7 and his father having health issues plus not looking after himself. Cody's father Allen seemed be such a dirt-bag and a selfish pig for not giving love to his own son. It's just awful to see this happening for Cody. I think it's a reflection of kids today not having to spend time with their kids as much as they should. It's very sad.San Pedro seemed such a beautiful city in the film with the ocean nearby. That'll definitely be my list of holidays to go to :DAlso I have something to say, this is the best summery movie I've ever seen, watch it dudes!!!!

I LOVE SHELTER! Even by seeing its poster only, has made our adrenalin goes high! Hahahaha...It's a romantic drama movie with a happy ending for which everyone, both heterosexual and homosexual, desires...The lovely romance between a very handsome and athletic teenager with a hot 30 something guy, it's touchable. The fact that this older guy is the teenager's best friend's older brother, makes the story sweeter... Love and friendship, two of greatest things in the world, aren't they?I've watched it once, I borrowed it from one of my best buddies, and I still wish to find the DVD and buy it. Its sex scenes, romance, friendship, and happy ending potentially remain saved in our memory...Thanks to The Lord for this wonderful movie...

I only recently found out about this movie and I'm so glad I did! The movie is so amazing and inspiring to watch. It is a great film and I would urge people to watch it if they have no already. However, if you like huge box office smashers with plenty of action, this movie is not for you. It's so true to real life and has the ability to inspire others. The storyline is very simple yet so interesting and moving. It's a simple movie with a beautiful meaning behind it and I'm so happy I got to see it. It is now definitely one of my best movies and I wish more people would make movies like this, instead of all the non meaningful rubbish thats out there today. I really do recommend people to watch it, especially if you are thinking about it, it is worth it and you will hopefully enjoy it as much as I did!
