5.0 out of 5 starsfantastic transfer to bluray
By RamblerSyndicate on December 9, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsSILENT WARNING ABOUT ENVIORNEMTAL POLLUTION, BUT ALSO ABOUT A WOMAN'S STORY
By Hee Chul Kwon on April 14, 2016
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
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.

5.0 out of 5 starsDamn Good Movie
By Judith S. Reilly on May 6, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
I have loved this movie since it first came out, and I was so pleased to find it on Amazon at a reasonable price. I believe Ms Moore would have won an Oscar, if anyone had actually seen it. The topic, fear of our environment, is even more relevant today. Twenty years ago (when "Safe" was released) the big fear was AIDS. Now it is GMO crops and gluten. I guess there is always something to fear, real or not.

4.0 out of 5 starsFascinating exploration of the angst of urban modern life
By Shirley J. Henderson on August 14, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I like the psychodynamics of this script and film.
Well acted. But probably not for all as it's different.
It's a chilling exploration of anxieties - loss of meaning, loss of connection, redirected to fear of environmental toxins.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Metamorphosis
By Mark C. Jones on June 21, 2015
Format: DVD
I'll play the Devil's Advocate and say that this movie is less about the environment and AIDS fears and more about the social and spiritual sickness caused by materialism, if you define the concept of materialism as finding happiness in things and possessions. I think Moore's physical deterioration is a metaphor for her growing awareness of her own inner ugliness and weakness. You might say her illness is just as much of a metaphor as Gregor Samsa's metamorphosis is.

The first half of the movie reminded me of Antonioni's L'Avventura with its wide and static angles, along with individuals framed off to the side and often overwhelmed by surrounding architecture.

The second half of the movie was more difficult to understand. I think Moore's decision to leave her old life and start new is a healthy impulse and maybe the only hopeful part of the movie. Her journey towards self-hood, however, clearly leads into a wrong direction. Haynes and his actors did a great job with the self-help guru Peter and his desert retreat. It would have been too easy to turn this part of the movie into a cult abduction story with the typical brainwashing and sex abuse we've seen elsewhere. Peter and everyone at his desert retreat seem warm and inviting, but they project a sense of menace that you can't always explain.

Director Haynes seems to be saying that Moore's character is deep enough to see the emptiness of her life, but that over-long exposure to the spiritual toxicity of materialistic culture has weakened her so much she can't do anything about it.

All in all, a very spooky film--not a horror movie, but it definitely has the effect of one. Haynes uses understatement and minimalism to make his points; Kafka used over-the-top expressionism and verisimilitude to make his points. Nonetheless, this movie continues to remind me of Kafka's little novel so much that I'll probably re-read it and then watch this movie right after. Just sayin'...
