The Escape Ratings & Reviews
Film Monthly
Matt Cipolla
Like if Todd Solondz made a Lifetime movie, The Escape can feel overbearingly depressing between its sequences of technical and creative strength.
Bay Area Reporter
Sura Wood
Gemma Arterton... brings brisk intelligence and subtlety to a character who's trapped in a barren wasteland of a marriage.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
Arterton's performance is incredibly emotive and well-judged.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Arterton's magnificence is undeniable.
Film Inquiry
Emily Wheeler
The audience is launched into an unsettling character study, one that takes its time getting its claws into you but ultimately delivers an intense ride.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Gemma Arterton's committed performance outshines the material in this awkwardly titled and highly improvised British drama about a crumbling relationship.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
The colors are rich and the direction is intelligent...but the overall effect is frustration leading to dissatisfaction.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
It's not a cheery picture, but its level of melancholy is haunting, especially when interpreted by star Gemma Arterton, who delivers career-best work in the challenging feature.
The Young Folks
Kristen Lopez
Gemma Arterton continues to prove herself as an actress constantly underestimated by the masses.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
Tara is a role that she has to inhabit without flash, and Arterton does so, and movingly, in every frame in which she appears.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
A quiet domestic-drama chamber piece with a vein of pure desperation thrumming beneath it.
Slant Magazine
Josh Wise
It deals with a very ordinary emergency with deftness of touch, and the power of a singular performance.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Subtle and slow and wrenchingly empathetic, "The Escape" is about gradually realizing that the life you have may not be the one you want.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
A well-intentioned effort to portray the slow suffocation of a young wife in her role as the stay-at-home mother with a seemingly perfect life.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
Although its title might imply some intrepid action movie, writer-director Dominic Savage's intimate, deeply emotional drama "The Escape" proves, in its own way, just as daring and harrowing an experience.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Wrenching scenes from a disintegrating marriage, beautifully played.
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
Gemma Arterton excels as a shattered mother of two in Savage's absorbing and uncompromising film
Film Journal International
Shirley Sealy
Only a brave filmmaker-and even braver actors-would attempt to tackle one of the most vexing questions of contemporary life: Why is "having it all" not quite enough?
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a moving portrait of a woman who's seemingly been coming undone for a while.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Gemma Arterton's strong but shattered performance as a disconnected housewife bolsters Dominic Savage's thoughtful marital drama.
