Fausto Fernandez Fotogramas Escape, perhaps the most unrestrained and libertarian film by Cortés finds in this fable divided into seven loose verses, the ideal vehicle for this escape from the prison genre... [Full review in Spanish] Nov 8, 2024 Full Review Toni Vall Cinemanía (Spain) [A] shot of strangeness, adrenaline, bursting with paranoia. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Tomás Andrés Guerrero Sensacine At times brilliant, the cast delivers memorable performances that further elevate the quality of the work. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4/5 Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof There is also a lot of Spanish literature in Escape, not only because it is an adaptation of Enrique Rubio's novel, but because there is a non-conforming spirit in its surreal situation... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Javier Ocaña El Pais (Spain) The freedom of committing to being disparate is appreciated, but the second half of this moral fable never reaches the excellence of its first half... [Full review in Spanish] Nov 7, 2024 Full Review Santiago Echeverría EscribiendoCine Escape is an unclassifiable film that's rich in symbolism, and while it may be polarizing, it undoubtedly reaffirms the director's [Rodrigo Cortés] unique talent and style.
