Reviews for this film from our members:
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: too much of a button-pusher
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Writer/director Ron Krauss gives this ‘based on a true story’ an Afterschool Special feel with vaguely unsettling Holy Roller overtones, a secret agenda delivered like cod liver oil.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: [C]omes across as more of a heavy-handed fundraising tool than a convincing narrative.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Homelessness, child abuse and teen pregnancy are all sobering subjects and could have been melded into a wrenching story that needed to be told, but they deserve a less clumsy touch than what this pro-life teen melodrama has been handed.

- [New – 9/4/14] | Donald Levit @ ReelTalk Movie Reviews
- Frank Ochieng @ Focus of New York Magazine
- Excerpt: Relentlessly preachy as it tries to push all the red buttons of a socially conscious drama…Gimme Shelter is a saccharine-coated saga that means well but falls short of its emotional goal to be compelling as a turbulent tear-jerker.
- R. Kurt Osenlund @ Slant Magazine
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: So anxious to hit all the emotional bases that in the end most everything in it feels false.
