Movie Reviews of Safe
Movie Review: just stupid
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't get these people saying this film was the greatest thing since slice bread. All this happening was inside that woman's head. She just didn't make me believe that household cleaning items would make one sick. Oh yeah, I do know if you breath it to much and drink it then a person would get sick. But only a fool would do that. Getting a perm will make one sick? And that part where she reaches the clinic had me laughing till tears came to my eyes. "stop! stop! your contaminating this whole area!". Talk about overreacting. All from the the exhaust of one car? Didn't the clinic in New Mexico seem like an occult group. And what was that with the singing and singing what? "giving yourself to love?". I really serious doubt that the enviroment will actually make one so sick that they can not walk out into the real world. NO, they have to relocate to a guru clinic in New Mexico. All this movie caters to is the enviromenatalist (tree huggers). This movie people is just a bunch of baloney. It is of no suprise to me that this junk is what is coming out of Hollywood. This movie was just to to stupid for words and way too touchy-feeling for me.Movie Review: my face hurts from slapping it

I'm sorry, I just didn't get it. I know people like this movie, but I don't like it at all. It's by far the slowest movie I've ever seen. It was beautifully shot, and a slightly interesting plot, even a tad eerie, but just [was bad] right up until the end when absolutely nothing happened. Nothing happened the entire movie! She gets sick from everyday chemicals that are everywhere and seeks refuge from all this pollution in a New Mexico retreat run by a swindler/preist guru type. That's it. Call me spoiled expecting an ending too. Village Voice called it the "greatest movie of the decade" and the New York Times said it was "unnerving". It's not "darkly comic" either. All lies. The movie's one redeeming factor is that it is in fact, original.Movie Review: Visually pleasing, but what a waste!!

I wanted to like this movie, I was intrigued and it was visually beautiful, but it was so heavy handed and asked too many questions without giving any answers. How many shots of car exhausts or aerosol dispensers does the director need to make his point? Why is everybody around the main character so devoid of any emotion or compassion? Why is her life , so full of material possessions, so empty? Why is everyone at the retreat either crazy or entraced by the charismatic figure who runs the place? Surely there are people affected by this disorder who don't end up living like the bubble boy. I like Ms. Moore, but she plays this role with a "deer in the headlights" look. I don't understand all the rave reviews, I give this turkey one star.Movie Review: "Safe" made me sick! Cinematic torture...

Safe is perhaps one of the worst movies I've ever seen. It ranks among Ace Ventura 2 and the remake of The Island of Dr. Moreau featuring Marlon Brando.Safe is agonizingly slow, stupefyingly boring and if you're any kind of a skeptic (like myself) you'll be rolling your eyes constantly. Don't waste your time with this stinker.

If you sympathize with people who wear foil beanie caps and live in overturned toilet bowls, this is the movie for you! By the way, I say all of these things as a huge Julianne Moore fan. If it hadn't been for her, I would have stopped the movie 15 minutes into it.
Movie Review: Depressing Study of Mental Viruses and Institutionalization
Summary: 1 Stars
Nice shot composition, great performance from a young Julianne Moore (however, will her domestic-housewife-in-a-dilemma act get old?), and with a menacing realism, this movie is painful: If the fast forward button hadn't been invented I would have never have finished this one. I believe Haynes was making a statement about mental illness and institutionalization (that it doesn't work), and by substituting an environmental virus for mental illness, Haynes makes his audience feel vulnerable. But despite how successful it was in reviling and depressing me, I hated sitting through it, so I have to give the lowest recommendation.
