Reviews

The Zeit critic Marietta Steinhart was particularly impressed by the main actress: “Patricia Arquette, hardly recognizable here, plays the escape helper Tilly Mitchell as a tearful worker who dreams of a life full of adventure. She deserves more than an award for this portrayal. ”In an interview with taz, director Ben Stiller spoke about what attracted him to a film adaptation of the real events and how he researched, about the desolation of the place, about genre expectations and the difficult But the necessary tightrope walk not to glorify the perpetrators on the TV screen: “If you tell an outbreak drama and the audience cannot identify with the protagonists, then it will be difficult. It's about real criminals who have committed serious crimes that have killed people. We had to try to portray them as realistically as possible. It was important to show the audience who they really were. Richard Matt was a cold-blooded killer, David Sweat a murderer. Such people shouldn't run around freely. "
