Safe (1995)

Rating: 100

I wrote the following review on May 10, 1999, and published it then. It went under the title "Isolation Brilliantly Studied". Corrections in its English were made for its republication here.

I recommend Safe to everyone that seeks more in a film than accompaniment to popcorn. It makes you wonder whether civilization took a wrong turn somewhere. I disagree with those that see ambiguity in it. Impartiality, yes. It reminded me of Michael Tolkin's The Rapture. Julianne Moore was not perfect, though. She coughs unconvincingly, for one.
