    • SILENT WARNING ABOUT ENVIORNEMTAL POLLUTION, BUT ALSO ABOUT A WOMAN'S STORY
It is very brave of him to make such a movie as his second feature. This is very heavy stuff to make into a film and he didn't make it like a documentary or tried to inform us like an educational program doing the best that he can. It is about this woman Julianne Moore who suddenly became ill and couldn't find out why. She begin to think that it was because of the enviornment. All the toxic thing around her, the chamicals, the air pollutions and all. It's just that all the other people just didn't felt it right away. Everyone acually suffered as well. She is just one of the guy who happens to react more. That's all. She first did everything she could but failed. Then she found out this deserted place that similer people gathered and try to cure themselves by not exposing them to any kind of possible toxic things at all. She slowly becomes better. The good thing is although her husbad from time to time blamed her for being sick but he did understood her and supported her. She will eventually become better I guess. But the next step will be the problem. Going back to the city again. We are so fool that we created all kinds of toxic things ourselves and live in it. We don't even know that they are harming us to death. We just get used to them so well that we even enjoy them. We smoke weeds, cigarettes, even plastic glues for fun. But slowly they are destroying our inner body. One day they will collapse our entire being. This movie is a silent warning and it is a powerful one. But it also has a story, a good one and I enjoyed Julianne Moore's good acting very much. ... show more

    • Excellent depiction of mental illness & people who prey on the sufferers
In the 90's I lived in Taos NM and had neighbors who suffered with EI, and this movie gives an accurate view of what these people believe they are being assailed by, why, and things they do to protect themselves. It's an illness tailor made for the new age: non-specific, wide ranging symptoms of unknown etiology and duration. It's also a bit politically slanted as well because the sufferers are endlessly telling you what you can't do anywhere near them. (Example: my neighbors wanted me to stop using detergents and fabric softeners in my laundry....in my own home... which I did not share with them) on second thought, this movie brings back painful memories of suffering for myself! If you have this condition, save yourself a ton of pain and money: go see a good psychiatrist. ... show more

    • fantastic transfer to bluray
This is mostly a technical review. I have loved this film since discovering Haynes in the early 2000s. Though I never really thought of the quality of the DVD release as "holding it back", I never had a chance to see it in theaters, either. I wasn't hopeful there would be an HD release with a niche film like this. That was until Criterion came to the rescue! The image quality is, in my opinion, everything that can be hoped for. Every parameter of quality improved - the resolution of course, but also the S/N ratio, colors, and grading. Improved to the point of being absolutely breathtaking. It's like seeing it again for the first time. Those wacky, gaudily-colored late 80s interiors sometimes made the DVD release feel somewhat incohesive, but in this transfer the colorist(s) manages to both heighten the realism and add a certain sparkle not felt in the DVD. I'm really impressed. As for the audio...again, the S/N ratio and resolution has gone way up. But I have to say I almost subtracted a star because it's a shame Criterion didn't spring for a stereo remix. Tomney's haunting score, which I own on CD, was definitely in stereo and it would have added to the atmosphere to have that. In fact I played the opening drive sequence on my plasma TV with my audio system running the stereo OST Track 1 and thought...wow...if only. It would have been nice. The score has a lot of subtleties that you just can't pick up on a mono mix. But I'm not going to subtract a star for that, because I feel so lucky we got an excellent blu-ray release as we did. ... show more

    • Modern Retelling of Yellow Wallpaper
The miracle of this film is that somehow Todd Haynes makes it compelling to watch Julianne Moore play Carol White, an inspid waif completely lost and languishing in the asylum of her huge house in San Fernando Valley. She's not even a sympathetic character as we watch her, confronting her boredom by shopping and going on fruit diets, disintegrate from a drab, soulless, wife to a sexless hypochondriac who regresses to the infant state, abandoning her family and moving to a "sanctuary" where she will find a "toxic-free, safe environment." The film succeeds as a satire against happy therapy speak, bovine middle-class self-help cliches, unctuous, self-help charlatans, panacea-promising infomercials, and the kind of needy people who lack the moral fortitude to confront their own weaknesses so instead rely on conspiracy theories and other kinds of scapegoats to explain their repellent personalities, blaming chemicals, for example, for their own ineptness. Carol White and her fellow acoyltes at the "sanctuary" are all brain-numbed on the humorless cult of New Age therapy, giving credence to a motivation speaker who lives in a grand mansion overlooking the shack house squalor of his followers. Ironically, Carol White is even more of a prisoner in her new "safe house" as she was in her husband's home. If you want to bite on an pungent appetizer before watching this brilliant two-hour film, first read Charlotte Perkins Gilman's famous short story "The Yellow Wallpaper." It will really get you in the mood for the kind of insanity rendered in "Safe." ... show more

    • Attack of the cleaning things...
Another one of those films that i couldnt get on netflix that i just had to see. Julianne Moore is a suburban housewife who endures giving her weasely husband pity sex, having a bratty-know it all son, while existing in a dull,hollow, but safe environment until her body starts to become allergic to her surroundings. I can only imagine one of the reasons this film hasnt been released on dvd is due soundtrack cost...it features some pretty popular songs and could get expensive real quick. ... show more

One of the great films of the 1990s. Complex, ambivalent, chilling. It gets more interesting every time I see it.
