The Great Escaper Ratings & Reviews
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
If its melodrama is unabashedly manipulative, it's not altogether ineffective at eliciting waterworks.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Lloyd
Jackson and Caine wear their years proudly; there's no vanity in their performance or their appearance. The couple's eventual reunion is deep and real and, like their whole relationship, gorgeously ordinary.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
An esteemed cast helps this bittersweet drama about healing, reconciliation, mortality, and the lasting emotional trauma of war from drifting into heavy-handed sentimentality.
Common Sense Media
Stefan Pape
Oliver Parker's credit that The Great Escaper avoids these pitfalls, yet remains both moving and effective. Parker never patronizes Bernard, nor does he lean into any over-the-top patriotic nonsense, something so often found in movies that are similar.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
A sweet, sad, and in its way, profound portrayal of Bernie's story, a generation's story, and the unbreakable bond between Bernie and Rene. Unsentimental and an important reminder of the Greatest Generation's sacrifices for our freedom.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
If this is actually the actor's final role, Caine closes an incredible career on a high note, infusing "The Great Escaper" with the heart and humor it needs to feel emotionally authentic.
