Leave your thoughts about Safelight.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn attractive cast can't rescue this well-meaning but slow, sappy romantic triangle. |
| The PlaylistOktay Ege KozakA bland and utterly predictable melodrama desperate to hide itself as a deft character study. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongUneven would be a kind word for "Safelight." |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreMainly, though, Safelight is just a California tourism travelogue — See Scenic Joshua Tree, Visit the Lighthouses of Southern California. Which we do, in 80 odd-but-not-odd-enough minutes. |
| Los Angeles TimesMartin TsaiFirst-time filmmaker Tony Aloupis, formerly frontman of the New Jersey rock band Shadows of Dreams, serves up Americana like a stale slice of apple pie. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckSafelight squanders the efforts of a talented cast who are unable to lift the material beyond its clichés. |
| Philadelphia InquirerTirdad DerakhshaniAloupis is not untalented as writer or helmer. But his first outing is an unsurprising, paint-by-the-numbers picture. |
| Common Sense MediaBrian CostelloSo-so indie drama has mature themes, cursing. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonaghThere's just not much room to work with [the abundance of] clichés. |
| VarietyJustin ChangA handful of solid performances and some subtle ’70s period detailing are hardly enough to recommend this flat, predictable drama. |
