4.0 out of 5 stars A harsh and bleak look at 20th Century America, 19 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Safe [VHS] [1996] (VHS Tape)
Based on fact apparently, this stylish and bleak film takes a close look at a dysfunctional modern day American family, struggling to stay happy and indeed safe. Their problems are heightened when the mother begins having what seems to be panic attacks and strange turns for the worst. However, it transpires that she has contracted the rare, but on the increase, disease that is 20th Century illness. A disease that can affect the host at any time, and could be almost anything made of any substance. And so Julianne moore gets moved at great expense to her social circle and family life to a bleak American desert, where she is confined to a strange igloo-like dome, detached from society and her friends and family.

To call this film bleak is a massive understatement and if you are looking for fun then this is potentially the worst film of all time to hire after Dancer in the dark, but it is very well shot in places and has a chilling sense of absence and detraction running throughout. Moore is fantastic, and watching the family degenerate is horrible yet fascinating. Well worth a watch if you can sit through it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Yawn! , 12 Jul 2007
This review is from: Safe [DVD] [1996] (DVD)
I rented this as I quite like Julianne Moore but you've certainly got to be dedicated to sit through this! Brilliant performance from her and a strangely nostalgic view of the late 1980s which was quite engaging. However, I watched this whole film waiting for something to happen and nothing really did.

They could've done with adding a little more to the storyline because two hours of watching this film was a bit like watching paint dry. Such a shame because Moore is so watchable and plays her part so well. Would have made a great thriller and I was actually expecting it to be in this genre, but it really wasn't. It's not a bad film as such, it was just a bit dull.

This review is from: Safe [DVD] [1996] (DVD)
I am trying so hard to finish this film. I just cannot get into it. It is rather boring. When I reach the end (if I ever do) I will let you all know!
