Shelter in Solitude

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.

Shelter in Solitude is a captivating story of death row inmate with just days to live and the impact he felt from a wannabe country western singer and a small community of people during COVID times.

Directed by Vibeke Muasya the movie stars the wonderful actors Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Robert Patrick, Peter Macon, Dan Castellaneta and Peter Hogan. I had the honor of seeing it at Kevin Smith's first film festival-- SModCastle Film Festival--in Atlantic Highlands New Jersey.

This fantastic, small-town love story about a tragic inmate in despair who finds an unusual friend with faith and a warm heart, is touching and enjoyable for all. Funny, compassionate, relatable, surprising and with a great cast, excellent music and perfect backdrop make this a Must-See Film!

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!

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 !

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.
