Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare Ratings & Reviews
Spirituality & Health
Bilge Ebiri
The approach is multipronged, but luckily, Escape Fire doesn't lose any of its urgency or power as a result.
Washington Examiner
Kelly Jane Torrance
There's no question the American health care system is broken. But it's not for the reasons directors Susan Froemke and Matthew Heineman posit.
Movie Habit
Robert Denerstein
A more sweeping look at the assumptions behind American healthcare
Shockya.com
Brent Simon
Suffers from some jumbled editing, but has the benefit of enormously sympathetic subjects, and rather persuasively suggests a collective societal myopia on the subject of health care.
Cleveland Plain Dealer
Clint O'Connor
Dry doings but certainly important and thorough.
Washington City Paper
Tricia Olszewski
It's enough to raise one's blood pressure, if it weren't elevated already.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
There's no escaping the fact that the sheer profusion of similarly-themed efforts in recent years reduces their individual impact.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
"Escape Fire" will be a learning and thought provoking experience.
Movies.com
Christopher Campbell
One of those rare gems that concentrates on solutions to a problem rather than just hopelessly presenting one.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
Matthew Heineman and Susan Froemke's sobering, often infuriating documentary about medical care in 21st-century America.
Salt Lake Tribune
Sean P. Means
The most compelling parts of the film talk about how the military, dealing with injured and traumatized soldiers from two wars, is in the vanguard of trying new treatments that help patients and save money.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
The film is surprisingly optimistic, arguing that there are genuine, practical answers to many of the problems afflicting the system, and some are already being adopted.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Arranged in a handful of clear, concise chapters, "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare" turns an unwieldy, Medusa-headed topic into a convincingly humane argument for change.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Cogent, convincing, determinedly non-ideological, "Escape Fire: The Fight to Rescue American Healthcare" tells us that everything we think we know about that incendiary topic might be wrong. And it offers us a way out of the morass.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
This is the movie equivalent of watching someone walk on hot coals, but for 98 minutes.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
There are neither enough personal histories nor enough proposed solutions to spark any significant debate.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The first hospital visit for many sick Americans is to an emergency room, the most expensive and hurried care available.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
Escape Fire winds up feeling like only one half of a larger argument.
Variety
Robert Koehler
Like a doctor's carefully structured analysis of a patient's condition, the film breaks down its massive subject into manageable, clear, but not simplified parts.
