Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: B+ --
In a summer of heavyweight action movies and flyweight romantic comedies, I don't think you'll find a more provocative little number than Safe, which creeps under your skin like a rash.

Entertainment Weekly
Ranked #10 in Entertainment Weekly's 10 Best Movies of 1995 -- ...Haynes, the most truly independent filmmaker in America, is in top form....A horror film of the spirit...
Entertainment Weekly
...The movie starts out dealing with one problem and ends up attacking another....SAFE never declares itself for a any of these possibilities. That is another of the movie's intriguing aspects...
Chicago Sun-Times
The ironic handling of decor and characterisation builds an eerie portrait of the blissed-out West Coast bourgeoisie at their most brainwashed.

Time Out
...SAFE is a spellbinder....Julianne Moore gives one of the year's best performances...
Rolling Stone
...[The] emotional tensions beneath the film's glassily placid surface are of course deliberate, and disturbing in the most productive way...

Rating: 5/5 --
Safe is brilliant for the way Haynes, with cinematographer Alex Nepomniaschy and composer Ed Tomney, blankets the mundane in the eerie tone of science fiction and horror.

Product Description:
SAFE is an unnerving story about a housewife, Carol (brilliantly played by Julianne Moore), who falls physically and psychologically ill from her environment. Director Todd Haynes casts an instantly eerie spell with hypnotic cinematography as Carol's stoic, perfect world is introduced. Her home is exquisite, her husband (Xander Berkeley) loving, her son (Chauncey Leopardi) typical, her best friend loyal. But after Carol learns her friend Linda's (Susan Norman) brother has died mysteriously, Carol begins to experience her own strange symptoms. Her illness eventually transforms her seemingly protected, upper middle-class existence into a terror of everyday life. She becomes so ill--with her doctor and friends concluding it's all psychological--that she begins to investigate a cult-like healing center that provides a protective bubble from what its followers call "the twentieth century disease"--a kind of allergy to everything modern or chemical. With its stunning art direction and an impressive performance by its star, SAFE is both a chilling tale of existential dread and a witty commentary on modern suburban life.
