Review of The Escape

The Escape (II) (2017)
7/10
Gives you something to think about

Liked the movie, hated the characters. Hated Tara because of her selfishness and her shallowness (she wasn't interested in making it work, she didn't talk about it when her husband tried to and although she's expressed interest in art, she didn't do anything about it and her escape had nothing to do with art). Hated Mark because he missed so many marks earlier. Yes, he tried to talk to her and cheer her up but he should've felt something was wrong much earlier before obviously forcing his non-interested wife into sex.

I think most of the negative comments here are because people related to the situation and didn't like the feeling. I think it's a good morals subject to think about. As a sometimes melancholic person, I've feared being both in their shoes in life. What I reached is, although she's got points where she's absolutely right, Tara was very wrong in her actions. I would feel absolutely terrible if I were in Mark's shoes.

About the movie in general, I don't understand or like the recent trend of making the viewer figure out whatever that ending meant. The ending should've been clearer. I'd hoped her Paris adventure would've taught her how to be a functioning adult and do the right thing, but I'll never know.
