Escape From Tomorrow Reviews
May 29, 2020
Escape from Tomorrow is a magical journey into the nightmare that is adulthood.
October 14, 2019
Taking the Mickey out of Disney's rose-tinted worldview, while also offering a rollercoaster ride through the psyche of a man losing his head, Moore's film paints a trippy picture of misery repressed & mortality sanitised. It's an astonishing debut.
August 7, 2019
A messy, unfocused conglomeration of concepts that is hampered not only by the limitations under which it was shot, but by its fatal lack of cohesion.

Escape From Tomorrow employs a neo-noir look by having the film in black and white, which also aids the horrifyingly dark look of the self-proclaimed paradise.

Escape from Tomorrow might be a bit too sardonic and extreme for some, but it is nonetheless a brave, unique and unforgettable experience.

Attacks and deconstructs the American Dream, in no better place than Disneyland.

Rather than in-depth satire on Disney and its effects on American culture, "Escape From Tomorrow" offers a series of potshots.

Unfortunately, this is a wasted opportunity.

Escape from Tomorrow often makes good on its aspiration to stick it to the man in the mouse suit, but let's not get carried away: Miley Cyrus is currently doing just that to much greater effect.

As a conversation piece for hardcore film buffs and Disney fans, it's a fascinating little curiosity -- but that's about it.

An incredible feat of satirical culture-jamming and gonzo movie-making, Escape from Tomorrow, for better or worse, won't be forgotten by those who agree to buy the ticket and take the ride

Anyone with a filmmaking background should watch the movie to see what real guerrilla filmmaking can accomplish.

Whatever the technical intrigue of a film shot guerilla-style at Disney World, the would-be surreal midlife crisis that ended up onscreen doesn't work... at all.
April 22, 2014
Semi-surreal science fiction complications, botched horror and bad, flat acting erupt, as well as dad's perverse and lecherous desire for two underaged French girls.

The more Escape From Tomorrow lingers in the mind, the more disturbing and fascinating its implications on modern American culture become.

Mainly a one-trick Goofy-show, connecting a famous family-fun park with adult voyeurism, paranoid delusions and sexual obsession. There's a tedium to Jim's sex-obsession, some Freudian 101 symbolism, and the shrewishness of Jim's wife is too much.

Nothing this potentially dangerous should be this tedious to sit through.

It's ultimately clear that the story behind Escape from Tomorrow's production is far more compelling and interesting than the film itself...

Aside from the really awesome poster, the much talked about ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW has nothing else to offer.
November 8, 2013
Cleverly shot guerrilla-style in Disney's Florida and California theme parks, this offbeat thriller is an exercise in relentlessly inventive filmmaking, vividly proving that pure imagination can overcome a micro-budget.
