Great performances by two amazing actors (Shannon and Chasting) and just for that, I would suggest the movie. The story is good but I felt like this could have been an amazing short movie... not a 2 hour movie. Many scenes are too slow for my taste and the ending didn't impress me either. Not a movie for everyone, but the great performances makes it worth watching.

Great acting and storyline with a figure it out for yourself ending! Don't know if I got the finish right but it looks like the daughter has become auto tuned to the traumatic effects storms have had in her life and the wife has shown an acceptance in the end to what she has to deal with ahead of her!

Absolutely brilliant story accompanied by award deserving performances from the whole cast. Believable, compelling and the character driven. Don't be put off by the slow start. Possibly the best movie I have seen this year and I have seen quite a few.

A believalbe story about the the onset of mental illness. The acting was top notch too.

I was very surprise how good the movie was... The story was entertaining and kept me guessing until the end...

The fine line between dementia and premonition is a recurrent theme in cinema. The most celebrated of the genre is probably The Shining by Kubrick. The main character, Curtis dealing with these/his demons does not come across as sympathetic. He appears selfish. Chastain seams to be everywhere in american cinema at the present time, but she is so good. A good film, nothing more.

This movie is compelling, the acting is unbelievable (Michael Shannon outdoes himself), and the underlying subtext of the movie is something that anyone with any interest in the human condition, or the state of affairs in our present times can relate to. This movie makes you think and you it does not spoon feed you a cookie cutter ending. There is an underlying subtext to the ending!

Michael Shannon at his best ever, good story and great cast. Visually amazing, rather long, not for all to see.

Michael Shannon's acting is the best thing about this film. Jessica Chastain is very good as well. I thought the initial premise of a man dealing with internal anxieties juxtaposed against a possible future apocalypse was quite compelling. However, the story became manipulative by focusing on the mental illness aspect. I would recommend the film for its terrific acting but caution people that it's somewhat slow and has a confusing ending.

This movie has the effect of making the viewer feel overtaken. There is a weird dynamic between mental illness and prophecy here.

The acting was excellent. Having said that the movie was: too intense, too long, boring. The ending is the only thing that saved this from me losing my mind.
