Alexandra Heller-Nicholas ABC Radio (Australia) 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. Rated: 4/5 Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International A campy thriller that pits [a woman] against her disabled teenage daughter in a battle of wits that isn't quite sharp enough. Feb 21, 2021 Full Review David Fear Rolling Stone Paulson will be fine after this misstep. Ditto Allen, who could not be a more appealing lead or a resourceful damsel-in-distress. Rated: 2/5 Dec 17, 2020 Full Review Zoë Rose Bryant Loud and Clear 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. Rated: 4/5 Sep 1, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies “Run” is a sneakily absorbing thriller that pokes at the idea of a mother’s domineering love and a child’s blind trust. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Dan Bayer Next Best Picture You pretty much know where “Run” is going to go, but it gets there in the most entertaining way possible.

Aluna U Run delivers a gripping psychological thriller rooted in the disturbing dynamic of a mother's obsessive control over her disabled daughter. While the story becomes predictable midway, the strong performances and suspenseful atmosphere keep it engaging until its unexpected ending. Some plot inconsistencies slightly detract from the realism, but the film remains a thought-provoking and chilling experience.

Rated PG-13 for Language, Disturbing Thematic Content and Some Violence/Terror!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dubbed and subtitled in worldwide studios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/28/25 Full Review Guy I A very pleasant surprise! Had this in my watchlist for a while, and it turned out to be quite the Hitchcockian thriller, raised by a stellar performance from Kiera Allen and some elegant cinematography. Sarah Paulson is yet again playing the deranged one, but she is so very good at it... a throughly engaging film despite us having a good idea how it will unfold. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/23/25 Full Review Kimmo K Very exciting movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review John W I like it very much. Sarah Paulson's acting is so good. The film is exciting, has a few good twists, and is really well directed. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Seamus R DUMB! As Diane's ruse begins to unravel, so does the movie's entire plot leading up to this point. Chloe has a relationship with her pharmacist and we should assume, her doctor, but apparently no one else in the world. A doctor would know the difference between paralysis and drug-induced numbness, real asthma and drug-induced respiratory paralysis. It's absurd to expect an audience to believe Diane's plan would work for so many years. They hid the fact that Diane's control, manipulation and severe psychopathy would have revealed itself throughout Chloe's life by skipping past and presenting an idyllic relationship, but conscientious viewers would want to know why Chloe isn't bothered by the fact that she has no friends or extended family visiting her entire life. Anyone who gave this movie a good review has let you down and you should take note of them, never trusting them again. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/02/25 Full Review Read all reviews
