Despite a title
that sounds like a thriller or action vehicle of some sort, The Escape is as minimalistic as
filmmaking gets. It is a character study that only allows us an outside view of
the character. Although we spend nearly all of the running time with a single
character, it is possible to get to the end of the film without having much
insight into what is going on internally. The
Escape is singularly focused on the depression of a mother and wife in
London, but it only allows the audience a surface view of the emotional distress,
and the result is often less than sympathetic.
