Review of Safety Not Guaranteed (2012) by Betty C — 22 May 2013

I'm shocked that this movie didn't get more award recognition over the past year. A hidden gem of 2012, the film works because of its strong characters, especially by Aubrey Plaza. she's funny, but also charming.

mark Duplass also is great playing a "Dwight Shrute/Zach Galifiankis" hybrid. the film comes off as the indie sci fi Silver Linings Playbook, but Guaranteed is the strong film as it raises more relatable questions and themes of aging, mortality, and sanity to the audience, see this movie, I don't say that often.
