If nothing else, this film is a persuasive argument for the fact you can get almost any screenplay made.
A disabled yet sensitive young man who takes photography is befriended by a friendly prostitute. He likes taking pictures but is regularly bullied by three classmates, and the local crackhead wants him to stop hanging around his girl.
Oh, and his father's dying of cancer. And his 'tart with a heart' has family issues due to her profession. And his stepmother is being romance by a flirtatious idiot. And...
Gee, it must've been an impressive explosion at the cliche factory when Safelight was put into production! There's barely an original idea in its head.
Apart from the ending, which is just plain stupid. Someone is killed to apparently no consequences, and a brand new camera is brought with no explanation. Hmm.
Anyway, I don't want to be too down on the movie. Despite all the hackneyed material, it's still perfectly watchable. And whoever played the local druggie is a total hoot with his completely bonkers performance.
But if you're looking for something memorable or God forbid, inspiring, try looking elsewhere chump. 5/10.
