Safe

Movie Summary: Carol, a typical upper middle-class housewife, begins to complain of vague symptoms of illness. She “doesn’t feel right,” has unexplained headaches, congestion, a dry cough, nosebleeds, vomiting, and trouble breathing. Her family doctor treats her concerns dismissively and suggests a psychiatrist. Eventually, an allergist tells her that she has Environmental Illness.

Queer Film LA Says: New Queer Cinema auteur Todd Haynes (Carol, Far From Heaven) has enjoyed a rich collaboration with actress Julianne Moore over the years, having worked together on five feature films--the first of which was 1995's iconic film Safe.
