Safe

Safe

“In the 21st century nobody will be… Safe.”
★ 7 /10 (350) Rage • 1995 • 1h 59m
Drama
Director Todd Haynes
Screenplay Todd Haynes
Todd Haynes's masterfully unsettling drama follows Carol White, a wealthy San Fernando Valley housewife in the late 1980s whose seemingly perfect life is disrupted by a mysterious environmental illness that no doctor can diagnose. As her symptoms worsen, she retreats to a New Age healing center in the desert that may offer salvation or merely a different form of imprisonment. Julianne Moore delivers a deliberately opaque performance in this film that works simultaneously as a critique of chemical toxicity, suburban emptiness, and the wellness industry's exploitation of the desperate.
