Feste handles the action and horror in “Run Sweetheart Run” well; and for those who can handle its more preposterous twists there are trashy pulp kicks to be had here.

| Oct 29, 2022

Feste’s overall ambition and craftsmanship, along with a fantastic central performance from Ella Balinska, hold things together even over the film’s rocky patches.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 28, 2022

Run Sweetheart Run comes from a well-observed point of view that roughly 50% of the world’s population shares. But its singular focus is shortsighted, holding the movie back from delivering effective scares.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 27, 2022

We get it: The male villain is a stand-in for the patriarchy, and for women, it’s an uphill battle just to survive. No need to bludgeon us over the head with it.

It’s difficult to fault a film for being over-ambitious given the low-effort nature of so many genre films but the sheer, two-joints-in bizarreness of Run Sweetheart Run needed a surer hand to guide us through.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 27, 2022

A slick, flashy and trashy genre hash too knuckleheaded to be much fun even as a guilty pleasure.

Run Sweetheart Run is broadly successful in trying to have genre thrills with a feminist premise that becomes more and more obvious.

If malignant misogyny transformed into a person, it would be the villain in Run Sweetheart Run.

| Jan 31, 2020

A lighthearted survive-the-night style romp. One that's unafraid to convey what it's like to be female, but with enough playfulness and horror to feel inclusive for all. Centered around a woman's curse, it guarantees to be divisive.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 30, 2020

"Run Sweetheart Run" isn't just about how it feels to be violated by a single person in a position of power, but how the prevailing power structures can continue to enforce and expand those same violations.
