Review of Escape from Tomorrow (2013)

By Inkoo Kang (374) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 09 Oct 2013

Review of Escape from Tomorrow (2013)

By Bill Goodykoontz (2,123) for Arizona Republic (3,909) on 09 Oct 2013

By Noel Murray (1,901) for The Dissolve (1,478) on 08 Oct 2013

By Chuck Bowen (756) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 07 Oct 2013

The film is just a stunt or, more specifically, a calling card, but that might be enough for anyone who's ever wanted to kick Mickey Mouse…

Review of Escape from Tomorrow (2013)

By Todd Gilchrist (762) for TheWrap (3,203) on 22 Sep 2013
