Guy Lodge Film CriticAbout halfway through “Safe Place,” a film already not given to taking it easy on viewers’ emotions, the meek, honest delivery of a single word — “Sorry” — shatters the heart irreparably into a million small shards.
It comes from Damir (Goran Marković), a quiet, bearish but child-eyed man who has just attempted to take his own life.
