Movie 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.

Editorial reviews
"...SAFE is a spellbinder....Julianne Moore gives one of the year's best performances..." Rolling Stone - p.64 - Peter Travers (08/10/1995) "...[The] emotional tensions beneath the film's glassily placid surface are of course deliberate, and disturbing in the most productive way..." Sight and Sound - p.59-60 - Rayns (05/01/1996) 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 - p.116 - Owen Gleiberman (12/29/1995) "...Agonizingly real..." - Recommended Premiere - p.111 - Josh Rottenberg (01/01/1996) "...Highly controlled and precise stylistically....Technically elegant in all particulars..." Variety - Todd McCarthy (01/30/1995) "...Elegantly unnerving....Subtlety is the rarest quality in today's filmmakers, and SAFE demonstrates why it is valuable as well as scarce..." Los Angeles Times - p.F12 - Kenneth Turan (06/30/1995) "...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 - p.38 - Roger Ebert (07/28/1995)
