Starring Moore as a woman hit with an inexplicable sickness, Todd Haynes’ classic — now on the Criterion Channel — still shocks through the power of understatement.
From Barry Keoghan in “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” to Julianne Moore in “Safe,” these characters in non-horror films are bound to keep you up at night.
All those twists come together for one whopper of an ending, but the beauty of “Safe” Season 1 is that it knows when to stop.
Silly at times and wildly melodramatic, “Safe” trims so much fat it’s comically quick and better for it.
The series, from crime novelist Harlan Coben, also picks up a new May release date.
