Review For Safety Not Guaranteed |
It's the film's attempt at a conventional, big budget finale, with a big prop(Think H.G. Wells)...that trips it up. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Safety Not Guaranteed is droll and hilarious, but there isn't a cheap laugh in it, and the ending is so perfect it sends you soaring. Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
"Safety" can't sustain its own offbeat energy. By the end, even Aubrey Plaza would roll her eyes at it. Adam Graham-Detroit News
Neatly, the script embarks on one journey while dangling the possibility of another: the prospect of taking a sudden leap from comic reality into the realm of pure imagination. Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
"Safety Not Guaranteed" is most vibrant and vital at its edges, in the way that the characters interact with each other while waiting for something to happen. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
It's brisk and assured and never begs the audience's indulgence. No time is wasted. The movie is, at every moment, either funny or pushing the story forward, or both. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle
The film is obviously low-budget but has a smart script and a real feeling for those who would like to turn back the clock. Its modesty on the whole becomes it, and Plaza is a real find. Derek Malcolm-This is London
A human drama with some good laughs, winningly performed, and never predictable. Russell Lewin-SFX Magazine
[It] can be comic, tragic, mundane or something weirdly transcendental. Philip French-Observer [UK]
Shows you don't need much more than a good script to make a decent film - even if said script involves time travel. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express
The finale may raise eyebrows, but this is an experience you'll want to relive. Stella Papamichael-Radio Times
The problem is that your safety is guaranteed - everyone is too likeable for there to be any sense of danger. Grant Rollings-Sun Online
his time-travel romcom wastes lead Aubrey Plaza and dithers until its geek-pandering finale. Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK]
The independent sector of American cinema, you would think, would do better. Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Safety Not Guaranteed has the same sort of sweet, oddball sadness which permeated Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, but the variety bag of ingredients doesn't really add up to much. Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor
Few films so gloriously live up to their potential. Jessica Lambert-Little White Lies
See it...then travel back in time and see it again. Tim Evans-Sky Movies
An endearingly oddball indie sci-fi. Damon Wise-Empire Magazine
A low-concept film about time travel mightn't sound like much of a trip, but first-time director Colin Trevorrow offers good-natured fun and real substance in place of shiny surfaces and whizz-bang effects. Stella Papamichael-Digital Spy
With a low budget but a lot of imagination and talent, director Trevorrow and writer Connolly create a deceptively simple comedy that's one of the most entertaining films of the year. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
It may not make you walk out, but it certainly left me unsatisfied. Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
With another rewrite and some more focused direction, Trevorrow could have exploited the potential in his story and provided a worthy platform for Plaza, whose deadpan lead performance is excellent. Philip Concannon-The Skinny
Plaza and Duplass are enormously watchable, and there's a sweet sadness in the movie's focus on lost dreams and missed chances, and the truism that we all long for a time machine every once in a while. Tom Huddleston-Time Out
Safety Not Guaranteed is an original worth seeking out. Bill Clark-FromTheBalcony
The past has never seemed so inviting as it does in Colin Trevorrow's DIY time-travel romance. James Mottram-Total Film
From its shoestring budget to its familiar tropes, this could have been independent filmmaking at its most generic. But with its off-the-wall premise, snarky wit and heartfelt performances, it's quite the opposite: an inspired original. Michael Sauter-Film Journal International
