Shelter in Solitude

Loved this movie. A peek at life in a deep south small town at the start of the pandemic. The main character, down on her luck, finds a way of making lemonaid out of lemons after taking a job as a death row prison guard. She's open hearted and open minded from the get-go towards the death row inmate she is guarding. She develops a strong connection and a sense of responsibility to alleviate her prison's pain, to try and fix the unfixable for him. At times funny, hopeful, sad, emotional, conflicted, honest. You'll feel it all while getting to know this cast of characters in their hometown. Expect to spend a very enjoyable few hours!

Discovered a sparkling gem of a movie after entering theater with no expectations.

Well written with en pointe acting. You really care about the characters. Surprising angles to the story.

Siobhan Fallon Hogan unfurls the colorful, quirky, broken, caring, "do it" with passion character, Val, with brilliant acting. Her heart is on her sleeve. Her determination is steel strong.

Dignity. Respect. Hope.

The giving, receiving & embodiment of these values thread through this story.

And....to what ends?

See this intelligent, thought provoking, smile motivating & tear inducing movie. Tell your friends to do the same.

Destined to be one of the top movies of 2023.

It certainly is one of my favorites.

Make it yours, too.

This movie is absolutely fantastic top to bottom. The musical score, acting, story and cast are all great. Peter Hogan was brilliant alongside his mother and the Rob Bank$ and Fat Nick cameo was a nice surprise. It touches on so many different topics we are dealing with today. I also really love how it manages to touch a multitude of different genres. It is funny, dramatic, mysterious, and thrilling. I hope we continue to see movies coming from this production company. I'll be watching every single one!!!

10/10 would recommend for and film enthusiast and anyone looking for a great movie to watch.

Prepare to be enthralled by the rich tapestry of characters that populate Shelter in Solitude.

The filmmakers have meticulously developed a cast of individuals who are as flawed as they are endearing, making them feel incredibly authentic.

Literally, some of the most outstanding actors I have seen til this day.

Each one of the characters possess their own unique quirks, fears, and aspirations, resulting in a dynamic ensemble that adds depth and relatability to the narrative. The performances are outstanding, breathing life into these multidimensional characters and taking the film to new heights.

I will be back to see it again this weekend .

Absolutely stunning by all of you !

A great character study, Siobhan really knows her people! The story of two totally different people finding a connection really grabs your attention. Her character is irritating, laughable, relatable, and fun. Knowing that this is an independent film, made in her hometown with her high school friends as extras, makes it even more delicious. As I am from said home town, I enjoyed it more than ever! The movie was touching, funny, sad, and watchable. I never looked at my watch once to see how much longer! Grabs your attention and keeps it. I loved it, and you should see it. Now I need to write more characters to submit this, and these are them.
