Watching this for the first time in well over a decade, I was struck by how remarkably well it has aged. A period piece set in 1987 that came out in 1995, SAFE has only grown more on-point over time, and it serves as a fascinating introduction to Julianne Moore, displaying all the qualities that have made her one of our greatest living actors in an incredible performance.
