Curtis (Michael Shannon) seems like a regular fella with a loving wife (Jessica Chastain) and a daughter who dotes on him. The only trouble the family faces is the little girl’s deafness. Curtis and his wife seem to be taking this in their stride when he starts getting plagued with apocalyptic dreams of a storm front. He soon turns introspective which externally manifests itself in sullenness and strange behavior like fencing away the pet dog. The guts is the family’s struggle to deal with the unraveling of Curtis. A film that moves at a constant eerie pace with the kind of stillness that most directors don’t get right.
