Critics about Escape From Tomorrow
One of the strangest and most provocative movies this reporter has seen in eight years attending the Sundance Film Festival.
“Escape From Tomorrow” conveys a phantasmagorical nightmare on par with something Terry Gilliam might have dreamt up in his “Brazil” days.
It is not an understatement to say that it is one of the most unsettling things I’ve experienced in a theater in quite a while. (…)
It is a film that should not exist by any rational definition. And yet… not only does it exist, but it’s fascinating. (…)
Moore has made something singular, a completely original film, and he’s done it in a way that feels like a magic trick.— Hitfix
Easily the most jaw-dropping film I’ve ever seen at a film festival.
A radical, transgressive departure that exploits new technology in heretofore unseen ways. (…)
A major film, one that will be celebrated by cultists, pirates and wise guys for decades. (…)
reminiscent of “Eraserhead”-era Lynch or Richard Elfman’s “Forbidden Zone,” with a dash of Derek Jarman and Fellini.— Film.com
