Run Reviews
Run is a riveting rollercoaster ride from start to finish, pairing a pulse-pounding plot with powerhouse performances from Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 1, 2022
“Run” is a sneakily absorbing thriller that pokes at the idea of a mother’s domineering love and a child’s blind trust.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 25, 2022
You pretty much know where “Run” is going to go, but it gets there in the most entertaining way possible.
| Original Score: 8/10 | May 13, 2022
Just stylish and thoughtful enough to escape being cheap shlock. Instead, it's classy and enjoyable shlock.

What could have been a throwaway piece of B-grade schlock is elevated to an A-grade armrest-clutcher thanks to a chilling premise, superb direction in the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock and a lead performance from Kiera Allen that is an absolute pearler.

Chaganty's career remains something worth keeping an eye on, even if this sophomore effort doesn't quite hit the highs of his debut.
| Original Score: 3 / 5 | Jun 26, 2021
A minor anecdote that Chaganty takes to wild extremes, although always building with a firm hand a suspense with a credible and remarkably transmitted by Allen's omnipresent disengaged face. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 15, 2021
The problem ... is Chaganty seems to earnestly believe he is making a serious thriller, refusing to acknowledge the vein of absurdity that runs through the entire thing.

To a large extent, "Run" plays like gangbusters.

Gets by almost entirely on the energies of its two lead actresses, including a beautifully villainous Sarah Paulson and newcomer Kiera Allen.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 30, 2021
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.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 30, 2021
Run starts off as a Horror movie, but quite soon it becomes clear that this is an A to Z Thriller flick. Halfway through audiences should probably turn up a notch their suspension of disbelief in order to keep enjoying this one.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 21, 2021
...Run sets up a Rear Window/Misery story of captivity and attempted break-out, but squanders almost all of the screen-time on admittedly engrossing physical detail...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 17, 2021
Both leads are simply fantastic, and the simple premise unfolds with energy and intensity.
| Apr 16, 2021
Although it riffs on Stephen King's 'Misery' a great deal, 'Run' has enough genre thrills and chills going for it to make itself more than just a simple cover version.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 13, 2021
It's (Sarah Paulson's) American Horror Story pedigree which suggests there's more to this film than there really is.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 9, 2021
A problem with the film is its insistence to keep the characters mysterious.
| Apr 6, 2021
"Run works as a compelling thriller because it casually reminds viewers that disability is a class that anyone can join. Whether by birth, accident or malice, anyone can become disabled, and so disability rights and concerns apply to everyone."
| Apr 4, 2021
Another absorbing and effective thriller whose simple premise is executed with skill, good acting and no need for exposition. [Full review in Spanish]

Chaganty fully commits to delivering breathless thrills and outrageous revelations, rather than lecturing us about the real-world implications.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2021
