"The heterogeneity that characterizes [Li Yang's] film is not only technical; he constantly navigates between convention and invention, both in his screenplay and in his direction."
Les Cahiers du Cinéma -
"[...]a sort of Matrix by James Cameron and Michel Gondry combined. Undoubtedly the craziest film of the year."
Radio Nova -
"Escape From the 21st Century shines with its carefree spirit, which sees the political awareness of its teenage characters blossom and offers up a stage for endless possibilities, for total entertainment."
