Take Shelter (2011)
Curtis LaForche (Michael Shannon), is a working man in small-town Ohio with his beautiful wife Samantha (Jessica Chastain) and their young, hearing-impaired daughter Hannah (Tova Stewart). When Curtis' recurring dream of ominous storms becomes increasingly vivid, he fears for both his sanity and the safety of his family.
