Her words will come up again as her character, Apple, makes a run for it, out of the life handed to her, into a life she created. The girls in these scenes are wonderful, anonymous, they seem to have stepped right off the streets. Gimme Shelter is many things; a great rock ’n’ roll film, a well-constructed documentary and a challenging mix of voyeurism and dark fascination. The couple of scenes between Dawson and Hudgens vibrate with pain and ugliness. Intended to be the West Coast answer to Woodstock, the word ‘Altamonte’ has come to mean to live entertainment what ‘Waterloo’ means to French Cavalry. The film never says the words "pro-life" or "pro-choice." Movies. The man now lives in a Daddy Warbucks-level mansion with his wife (Stephanie Szostak) and two kids, and they try to adjust to the advent of Apple, who is rude and sullen, with atrocious table manners. Vanessa Hudgens, fully separated now from her "High School Musical" persona, having taken gritty almost feral roles in "Sucker Punch," "Spring Breakers," and "Frozen Ground", stands in a cramped bathroom, chopping off her black hair, whispering those words to herself. Based on a true story, "Gimme Shelter" ultimately is about the work of Kathy DiFiore, who created Christian shelters for pregnant teens who want to keep their babies. Gimme Shelter does feature some big acts, including Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Neil Young and Crazy Horse and Tina Turner and Ike Turner doing a rendition of the classic Otis Redding song ‘I’ve Been Loving You Too Long’. But it is as important to show how people are affected by a performance as much as to show the performers themselves. Apple has been "in the system" since her earliest days, she has been abused and raped and molested, and the "system" kept shoving her back into the pit.

In the opening scenes of the film, Apple escapes from her mother's clutches and makes her way to New Jersey to track down the man who is her biological father (Brendan Fraser), a man she has never met.

The most telling scene may not be the infamous stabbing, but the final sequence showing the audience straggling home next morning. There are car crashes and locked shelter doors, uncomprehending social workers and screaming families. The foregone conclusion creates a lingering doom that inspires a kind of alertness for the audience. The film presents an interesting relationship to its subject matter by opening with Charlie Watts and Mick Jagger viewing rushes of the film in an editing suite and showing their responses throughout. At Altamonte he cannot contain his audience. We see footage of their concerts and of them making the Sticky Fingers album in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
