	Author	Review
United States	Dennis Harvey Variety	"Almereyda simply wants to celebrate an entertaining personality who happens to be a classic Hollywood type (...) A unique, breezy pastiche"	POS
United States	Chuck Bowen Slant	"A preoccupation with the totemic materiality of cinema runs through Michael Almereyda’s documentary (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"Fortunately for us, Fancher is far too sweet and self-effacing to be mistaken for a watered-down Hemingway wannabe."	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A thoroughly charming, thoroughly engaging portrait (...) 'Escapes' takes an aptly twisty approach to its subject."	POS
United States	Serena Donadoni Village Voice	"'Escapes' is a rough sketch compared to polished Hollywood portraits like 'The Kid Stays in the Picture' (...) [An] affectionate biographical scrapbook"	NEU
