Critics' reviews
- "A richly compelling movie that is as hard to forget as it is difficult to warm up to."
- "A deftly made and poignant character study that deals with life's heartaches and its tender mercies."
- "A movie that never finds a consistent tone."
- "With a long running time that no amount of nonlinear construction can successfully quicken, Safety does have sequences and whole story lines that are fresh and thoughtfully entertaining."
