Critic Reviews for Safer at Home

All Critics (13) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (12)

Not every story is suited for Zoom-style presentation, and this derivative, uninspired one only underlines the strain in being fit to a presentational framework that does neither actors nor audience any favors.

Dennis Harvey
Variety
What Host really had, and Safer at Home lacks, are credible characters. Instead, we're confronted with the same nonsensical solipsism that made everyone glad that Cloverfield had monsters.

Richard Whittaker
Austin Chronicle
The cast is solid, but it's the screenplay from Will Wernick and Lia Bozonelis that leads them astray with a story that's both ridiculous and cliched.

Randy Myers
San Jose Mercury News
While not perfect, this independent production is still worth adventurous audiences' time.

Film Threat
Obnoxious and boring ... It's one of those movies that was clearly made to cash in on the coronavirus pandemic ... Avoid this toxic trash dump of a film if you value your time and your intelligence.

What we have here is a very annoying movie that's 2 contrived 2 B convincing.

Safer at Home is the type of film we should get used to. Innovation is the key to keep directors, actors and crews working, but instead of being the next big thing, there needs to be more thought about why these stories are written and by whom.

[T]here's no excusing the absence of thought that went into the specifics of this story and its staging.

Mark Reviews Movies
A compelling concept for a movie based on, and shot during, the pandemic, Safer at Home strains credibility too often, while its handling of COVID-19 feels tasteless and is unlikely to resonate with viewers.

The world-building is sloppy, the character motivations are questionable, and the COVID connection is dubious.

An interesting "failed" exercise.
