A bland and unremarkable tale of sad souls and dead-end circumstances from first-time feature director Tony Aloupis.
July 20, 2015 | Full Review… -
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.

Uneven would be a kind word for "Safelight."

First-time filmmaker Tony Aloupis, formerly frontman of the New Jersey rock band Shadows of Dreams, serves up Americana like a stale slice of apple pie.

Everything in writer-director Tony Aloupis' "Safelight" feels telegraphed.
July 16, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… -
Does the world really need another indie film about lost souls living quiet lives of desperation in a heaven-forsaken one-horse town?

Audience Reviews for Safelight
-
Feb 19, 2016A formulaic and stereotypical coming-of-age love story, Safelight is quite boring and monotonous. The film follows a gas station clerk who strikes up a friendship with a hooker who offers to help him with a school project by driving him to lighthouses to photograph. The plot is painfully predictable and the characters are extraordinarily cliché: the hooker with a heart of gold, the soulful artist, etc. And the sets are remarkably bland and pedestrian. Incredibly trite, Safelight is a by-the-numbers teen drama that lacks any originality.Dann M Super Reviewer
