Reviews for this film from our members:
- Beth Accomando @ KPBS Cinema Junkie
- Excerpt: This is not agitprop. Moore is not promoting a political agenda with Disney as his target. Instead, this is a filmmaker exploring the discrepancy between reality and the fantasy world Disney represents.
- Edwin Arnaudin @ Ashvegas
- Excerpt: The on-site daring certainly elevates Moore’s critique of the princess fantasies the company doles out on a daily basis, but as the film rolls on the mystique gradually loses its luster, shifting to off-site locations and generally falling apart.
- Tim Brayton @ Antagony & Ecstasy
- Excerpt: Nothing this potentially dangerous should be this tedious to sit through.
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: Sinister and surreal, it’s an eerie, experiment.
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: There’s a buried subtle critique that even Disney World’s sunny happy facade can’t mask true depression. But this has more to do with negativity in the family’s life more than a comment on the actual merits of the park itself.
- Dustin Jansick @ Way Too Indie
- Excerpt: Escape from Tomorrow is an astonishing achievement in filmmaking.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: daringly unsafe, disturbingly sinister, and curiously surreal…
- Benjamin Kramer @ The Voracious Filmgoer
- Matthew Lucas @ From the Front Row
- Excerpt: The film comes off looking like a child saying a curse word in church just to see people gasp rather than a serious work of art with something relevant to say.
- Mike McGranaghan @ The Aisle Seat
- Ryan McNeil @ The Matinee
- Excerpt: An incredible story comes to life. Pity about the not-so-incredible story it chooses to tell.
- Jamie S. Rich @ DVD Talk
- Excerpt: By the time Moore picks which thread will actually sew up his messy approximation of a plot, it’s too late. Escape from Tomorrow is a real squandered opportunity.
- [New – 1/17/14] | Andrew Wyatt @ Look/Listen (St. Louis Magazine)
- Excerpt: While director Randy Moore’s ambition outstrips his storytelling talent, his creepshow instincts are comparable to those of Lynch, Polanski, and Cronenberg.
