Taut, compelling and with just the right scale and intensity to keep us engrossed without ever going too far over the top and collapsing into camp. Go to Full Review
Tim Grierson Screen International 02/21/2021
A campy thriller that pits [a woman] against her disabled teenage daughter in a battle of wits that isn't quite sharp enough. Go to Full Review

Paulson will be fine after this misstep. Ditto Allen, who could not be a more appealing lead or a resourceful damsel-in-distress. Go to Full Review

“Run” is a sneakily absorbing thriller that pokes at the idea of a mother’s domineering love and a child’s blind trust. Go to Full Review

Marco L @decatur555 17h Run is a tightly controlled thriller that builds tension through atmosphere rather than constant twists. The story moves quickly into an unsettling situation rooted in everyday life and slowly tightens its grip, creating a steady sense of unease. It relies on suggestion, silence, and small details to keep the suspense alive, trusting the viewer to connect the dots. Sarah Paulson delivers a restrained, precise performance, while Kiera Allen provides a strong physical and emotional presence that grounds the conflict. The direction emphasizes confinement and pressure, using space and pacing to maintain tension even in quieter moments. While some developments may feel predictable, the film plays by the rules of classic thrillers with confidence, offering solid, effective, and consistently engaging entertainment without trying to reinvent the genre. See more S P @S1337 5d Enjoyable thriller on the relation between a mother and her handicapped daugher. High in tension and in emotions. An original movie on Munchausen syndrome by proxy. See more Chelsea H. @ChelsDez Jan 3 I actually really enjoyed this movie and hello? Sarah Paulson is in this and she never disappoints lol . See more Tim B. @SlimTim0707 Jan 2 Even with all of its flaws, it's hard not to like Run. Compared to a similar film, Misery, its characters and exchanges just don't measure up, but its dark and somewhat unexpected ending will leave you satisfied. See more Jane Dec 3 So overrought and tedious, I had to fast forward. There's only so much of the same thign you can take. The crawling backwards and fearful trembling. Unwatchable. See more Michael P Nov 9 It is a pretty mediocre movie based off a real tragedy. Engaging and more of a Walk, not a Run. See more Read all reviews
