A bland and unremarkable tale of sad souls and dead-end circumstances from first-time feature director Tony Aloupis.

0.5/4

To write off "Safelight" as just another generic romantic teen drama about wounded souls who find healing in each other's arms wouldn't do justice to its baffling ineptitude.

So-so indie drama has mature themes, cursing.

The scenery might make for a pleasant travelogue if only the screenplay took any risks or showcased any surprises between its bookend confrontations.

I hope Temple finds a way to stick around until such time as she figures out where she fits in best and what she's best at. When that happens, she is gonna lay waste.

Surprisingly decent indie with some truly genuine and compelling moments. A standout performance from Evan Peters, with good supporting work from most of the supporting cast.
