Aside from the language, glorification of graffiti, alcohol, cigarettes, and pot, Shelter is one of the best movies I've seen. I watched it with my 17 year old daughter and a friend of hers. Trevor Wright did an amazing job. The music is also superb.
July 1, 2008This is definately a film that you will want in your collection, because it is worth watching more than once. It is much like a good book that you do not want to end because you want to see what happens next. This was a heart warming movie for me. Great acting, editing and sound. Excellent music too.

Now I know that we all react to entertainment/art on a very emotional level, and perhaps I was just emotionally 'insync' with the writer/director (usually a really bad sign..) of this movie. It is honest, poignant, well-written, very well filmed (the surfing scenes.. on a budget of 500k?), and extremly well-acted. And Trevor Wright... he is in virtually every scene and he never disappoints. Tina Holmes is totally convincing. Yes, it's a 'gay' movie, but your mom would puddle too! Please check it out! BTW -- listen to Shane Mack's songs ('Lie to Me') in this movie (the soundtrack is a great Amazon.com download). He's a breakout artist, I predict!
June 30, 2008This DVD arrived within days of me placing my order, in excellent condition. Would use this seller again.

I am so tired of gay themed movies always being dark. While this movie had a little dark time, it mostly was a positive feel and a movie I want to watch over and over again and had to add to my DVD library. Most of the performances were very well done. Some of the story was a little too easy to explain, but over all very well done. I also loved the soundtrack, especially Shane Mack.
