Golshifteh acted in the Shelter 2017

 With a genre hook, a well-known cast including Golshifteh Farahani, and European financing, the film should nevertheless benefit from a wider international reach. To that end, the fact that the story mostly unfurls in English should only help matters along. But Shelter is not likely to share the same critical buzz that greeted Riklis’ previous outings, and the film’s proficient if unexceptional thrills are not likely to make it an outsized word-of-mouth hit.
