The movie is about a man who has nightmares about a terrible storm that is coming. Each night different things happen to him or his child in his nightmares. In the morning he struggles with the anxiety that is brought on by these nightmares. The dreams are so vivid, he believes that something bad is coming. At the same time he acknowledges that his anxiety may relate to a mental illness as it runs in the family.
The movie really shows the strength of a family on sticking together when things start to fall apart around them. The wife has to make a decision on whether to believe in her husband and see him through this anxiety or leave him and take the child.
The viewer is kept on the edge of their seat as the director builds the suspense on what is going to happen. Is a storm really coming or is this character on the verge of a complete mental breakdown.
The acting by Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain is superb. This is a good thriller to watch and the viewer is kept guessing right up to the end.
I didn't have my camera but I took some pictures with my blackberry of Jessica Chastain and the executive producer (man wearing the tan coat). I hadn't heard of her before but this month alone she has five films opening up in theatres.
