Solid acting and expertly ratcheted tension help Run transcend its familiar trappings to deliver a delightfully suspenseful thriller.

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

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.

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

Run is a riveting rollercoaster ride from start to finish, pairing a pulse-pounding plot with powerhouse performances from Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen.

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

You pretty much know where “Run” is going to go, but it gets there in the most entertaining way possible.

It is a pretty mediocre movie based off a real tragedy. Engaging and more of a Walk, not a Run.

Why such high ratings for such a ridiculous premise? It doesn't matter if the acting is good. Idiotic. I can't believe it's had so much praise. Don't waste your time.

Terrifying suspense, Run tells a dark, and psychologocal story. The acting is perfect, the atmosphere is unsettling. But i think the movie ending doesn't match with Chloe's character. The movie takes a turn to revenge and torture, and despite the mother being a horrible person, implies that Chloe never got over the trauma and still relives it, now poisoning your poisoner.

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. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com)

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.
