More Critic Reviews for Escape at Dannemora Miniseries All Critics (55) | Top Critics (26) | Fresh (49) | Rotten (6) It's a slow trod to get to a climax that was well-documented at the time, pierced with very occasional moments of violence and more frequent bursts of songs from the eclectic soundtrack that serve to kick up the rhythm. Jan 2, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Catherine Gee Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic It's not quite enough to keep audiences more than mildly interested. Dec 3, 2018 | Full Review… Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic Top Critic Dannemora at times can seem like a life sentence for viewers, although its grit, realism and performances are major selling points throughout. Nov 19, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ed Bark Uncle Barky Top Critic In some ways, "Escape At Dannemora" is one of the year's best TV series... But there's a problem with this detailed rendering of a prison break. It takes way too long to tell the story. Nov 16, 2018 | Full Review… Eric Deggans NPR Top Critic Yes, "Dannemora" is hard and cold. The light is muted, the shadows deep, while seven hours of this could easily turn into prison time. But thanks to that cast and Stiller's masterful direction, they don't - not once, not remotely. Nov 14, 2018 | Full Review… Verne Gay Newsday Top Critic Stiller and Arquette make Escape at Dannemora an intense, exciting, and character-elevated miniseries. A focus on human error over institutional failings makes for a distinct and gripping experience. Nov 14, 2018 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic The slow burn of the planning phase is rolled out like a marathon, the ducks that need to be lined up are but a few, but getting them plumb is thrilling even as it tugs at the attention span. Feb 15, 2019 | Full Review… Paul Casserly New Zealand Herald The three leads are dispicable, but everything is carefully crafted to be able to empathize with their plight. [Full Review in Spanish Feb 11, 2019 | Full Review… Álvaro P. Ruiz de Elvira El Pais (Spain) It is a punishing watch. Confinement is everything, though Stiller occasionally entertains himself with jarring moments.
