A Safe Distance evolves into a sapphic romance with crackling chemistry. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Mar 15
Some of the material about the "freedom" of the criminal life is a bit overwritten … and the final act has a a few choices and a twist that didn’t land for me, but the bulk of 'A Safe Distance' works. Go to Full Review Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror 15h
3/5
...a psychological thriller filled to the brim with tension and chemistry. A wilderness setting paired with a heist plot and a slow-burn steamy thriller? Yes, that’s exactly what A Safe Distance delivers, and you’ll want to... Go to Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? 3d
7/10
The result is an entertaining character study that never forgets the central mystery of that gun shot. We can assume the identity of the body they dumped as much as we want, but we won’t know until we see what we originally only heard. Go to Full Review Kat Hughes THN 3d
