Review of Shelter

Shelter (II) (2007)
6/10
Role Model
31 August 2018
Young gay kid Trevor Wright is living with his sister where he acts as the male role model in his young nephew's life. Wright and little Jackson Wurth really enjoy each other's company. Holmes's husband had died and she doesn't want to live with dear old homphobic dad who never liked the guy she married and beat up his son and threw him out of the house when he discovered that Wright was gay.

But Holmes has reservations too which come out when she leaves for a bit and Wright brings the kid along when he spends time with his surfing buddy Brad Rowe and the two get romantically involved. Would she have the same reservations if it was a woman Wright was seeing?

Shelter is a nice story about young gay life that doesn't involve, disease or promiscuity. It's not just a positive LGBT film but it shows there are actually people out there except for dear old dad who actually don't give sexual orientation another thought when evaluating the content of people's character.

A great film for young LGBT audiences.
