Reviews

Keith & the Movies

Keith Garlington

A small but precise little picture that’s very efficient with what it has.

A complete emotional journey... [Full review in Spanish]

Safety Not Guaranteed might be a high-concept low-budget indie but the three leading performances are one of the reasons why this film holds up beautifully ten years after its release.

Safety Not Guaranteed is a veritable cinematic Xanadu in a vast desert of crushing sameness. It'll make you laugh, it might make you cry, and it will certainly make you believe anything is indeed possible.

The kind of film where you leave the theater simply having to tell your friends about it.
