Leave your thoughts about Escape from Tomorrow.
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesIt feels much like a theme park itself -- really exciting at first, but then your senses are dulled, and eventually you just want to go. |
| Gay City NewsSteve EricksonRather than in-depth satire on Disney and its effects on American culture, "Escape From Tomorrow" offers a series of potshots. |
| Cinema CrazedFelix Vasquez Jr.Will be a polarizing film, but an entertaining one for the experimental to dabble in. |
| Film.comJordan HoffmanThe Walt Disney World-set Escape From Tomorrow is both a great gimmick-dependent story and a remarkable piece of filmmaking. It is a radical, transgressive departure that exploits new technology in heretofore unseen ways. |
| IndiewireEric KohnA labyrinthine descent into the grotesque extremes of a Disneyfied society, Escape From Tomorrow is surreal for many reasons and wholly original because of them. It's also a daring attempt to literally assail Disney World from the inside out. |
| Shared DarknessBrent SimonPart black-and-white student thesis film, part subversive attack on corporate-peddled American fantasy, Moore's film casts a spell -- until it doesn't. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanSubversive, surreal and deliciously stimulating. |
| Chicago Daily HeraldDann GireChasing Jim down all those meandering, dead-end rabbit holes sure is a lot of escapist fun. |
| The GuardianDamon WiseThe 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. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzA dark, weird, smutty, fitfully amusing comedy that ultimately wears out its welcome. As a provocation, it's aces, especially if — like the film's writer-director, Randy Moore — you hate Disney and everything it stands for. |
