Stylish indie caper

A Safe Place is a black comedy-drama about three people living in a home. We follow the escapades of Earl, Kevin and Teddy as their support workers struggle to keep up with their world. This unblinking portrait of England's modern care system could have made for heavy viewing, but the film's playful heist elements, stylish film noir tendencies and gentle upbeat vibe come together in a way which is funny, troubling and hopeful all at once. An atmospheric, intriguing and fun little indie film with a lot of heart.

British Indie film Gold

Some great performances, really liked a lot of the settings and atmosphere, cool music too that was at times quirky. The actor who plays Kevin is very good, like to see more of him. Lots of other fine actors too. The prostitutes, the crazy guy Frank is in your face, and Earl and Oberon who seem to live in some parallel universe. The treatment of a care home in modern day Britain rang true for me having experience in that sector, and which intrigued me to watch. John Henry Westhead of Clerks fame directed this one and apparently he has a couple of more bigger budget movies coming soon?

A film that punches above its weight

A film that makes you think outside the box, keeps you guessing, and is informative in its depictions of mental health. Kevin, one of the leads, reminded me of a modern day Randall P. McMurphy of Cuckoo's Nest fame, and Earl and Teddy were like comic book characters I've never seen before, and I mean that in a good way. I like that at the beginning of the film there were no credits that drag out the intro, which always seems a waste of time in films. Instead when we see text or the credits they are the descriptions of the main characters themselves, thought that was a nice touch, and kind of Goddardesque.

Seriously

Indie is indie, it's a bad indie movie with all fake reviews and rating. Comedy it's ? To me , this is a high school movie production.

It delivers

I randomly saw this pop up on Amazon Prime so I decided to watch it. I didn't know what to expect, but what I got was a phenomenal film about the lives of people in a similar vein to the work of Cassavetes. It delivers.
