Review of The Escape (2018) by Robin S — 18 Aug 2018
Some fine acting from both leads but within limited character and plot development. , Generally felt frustrated at the lack of explanation for the female position as someone who undoubtably had depression.
The film relied on creating an atmosphere of suffocation through mainly being inside the house, same 4 characters..,but the loneliness and difficulties of being an at home mother are far more nuanced than presumptive bad sex from the husband.
.. Felt more sympathy for the out of date male character who wanted desperately to not lose his wife, who he loves. The film portrays a male who tries to understand and communicate against a female who walks out the room .
Maybe a good starter point for current gender role discussion, but lacking in explanation of the female side of the story.
