Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Above all, the film makes us interested in what Mr. Guiraudie will come up with next.

Wafer-thin plot is more an excuse for parading a rich selection of character types than anything else, as, refreshingly, the movie never gets tied up in emotional angst or sexual guilt.
– Derek Elley,

fresh:
Weaving numerous influences into a rich emotional tapestry, Alain Guiraudie's The King of Escape skillfully absorbs and updates its assertive cinematic forebears.
