Safe Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
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.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
For all its flaws and vagueness, Safe is smart, challenging and provocative -- a film that gives you plenty to chew on, long after Carol's sad tale has wound down.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Safe, the elegantly unnerving new film by Todd Haynes, is all about uncertainty.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Wilmington
You'd have to be cranky or blind to deny Haynes' artistry and vision. There's a dark power, a tremor that runs through the movie like the rumble of a secret dread.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Brilliantly as it begins, Safe eventually succumbs to its own modern malady, as the film maker insists on a chilly ambiguity that breeds more detachment than interest.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Maybe the environment is poisoned, and the group is phony, and Carol is gnawing away at her own psychic health. Now there's a fine mess.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
One of the key elements that makes Safe such an enormously challenging film is that writer/director Todd Haynes leaves these critical decisions to the viewer.
The Dissolve
Scott Tobias
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.
Vanity Fair
K. Austin Collins
Haynes does to us what his film does to Carol, cannily exploiting our willingness to find answers where there are none, to read meaning into associations.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
In many ways, 'Safe' predicts both the insular nature of contemporary society, and the (counter-intuitive) disease of conformity that's synonymous with it.
The New Yorker
Terrence Rafferty
Moore, in a nearly unplayable role, is amazingly vivid and touching; this is a heartbreaking portrait of a woman in full, panicked retreat from life.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
This creepy art movie will stay with you.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
The audaciousness that marked Todd Haynes' earlier work has been supplanted by self-important preachiness.
Slant Magazine
Sal Cinquemani
Todd Haynes' enviro-disease masterpiece Safe might just be the most terrifying film of the last decade.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Todd Haynes takes what might have been a deadly disease-of-the-week movie and turns it into a chic postmodern chiller.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Haynes takes that Roy Lichtenstein world of postmodern angst and makes it tremendously affecting and eerily compassionate.
them.
Sarah Fonseca
Intended to be an exploration of the attitudes and anxiety surrounding the AIDS crisis, Safe still possesses the ability to leave viewers breathless and squirming in their seats.
rachelsreviews.net
Rachel Wagner
I found Safe's lack of answers both intriguing and frustrating.
Voices & Visions
Jim Laczkowski
One of the all-time great films. Screams out with existential terror showcasing how the lack of identity is not only anxiety-inducing but potentially inevitable due to the modern world we live in.
