Escape From Tomorrow Reviews
The Playlist
Randall Moore's film feels, quite frankly, like a Disney-fied version of a David Lynch film, exposing the underbelly of an American institution without offering any sort of real critique and featuring characters too unlikeable to care about.

Tomorrow doesn't demand deeper inspection. It's an inept lark that's lucked into theatrical release due to the sanctity of its target, forgetting that actual filmmaking skill counts in the end.

Escape from Tomorrow isn't awful, but it's the kind of film that makes you wish it were better than it is.

One of the most daring motion pictures I've encountered in a very, very long time. ... An emotionally walloping experience that, for all its flaws, I wouldn't have missed for the world.

The Polanski-like madness clearly stems from some of the very real frustrations that families are met with in the face of overwhelming corporate homogeneity.

A labyrinthine descent into the grotesque extremes of a Disneyfied society, "Escape From Tomorrow" is surreal for many reasons and wholly original because of them.
Film Threat
One wishes a few different decisions had been made, especially during post-production, but no one can deny the originality of a piece that's unlike anything else to play in Park City (or anywhere for that matter) in 2013.

The acting isn't perfect (which is perhaps understandable under the circumstances), and the film's dream states sometimes try too hard, but Escape From Tomorrow has an otherworldly atmosphere that both hooks and engages.
