Review of Safe (1993) by Henk E — 18 Apr 2008
A completely disarming performance by Julianne Moore (one of, if not the, best in her brilliant career) as a (although she might not think so) bored housewife who becomes gradually more and more sensitive/allergic to her environment, and perhaps her life.
The magic of Safe lies in the brilliant performances, the incredible way Haynes stylises the film, and the intricate, open-ended, plot which different viewers will interpret in different ways. Safe will leave you with a lot of questions and most won't have easy answers, or in some cases any.
Expect to end up living with this masterpiece for a long time. Excellent.
