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. Rated: 8/10 May 13, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

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 Ralph R Run is a solid thriller from Aneesh Chaganty, and it really delivers on the suspense. The story grabs you pretty quick and keeps the tension up all the way through. The directing is sharp and focused, with Chaganty knowing exactly how to get the most out of a simple setup. Sarah Paulson does her thing and really nails the role of the mother, she’s got that intense, overprotective vibe that’s both caring and unsettling at the same time. Kiera Allen is fantastic as Chloe, especially considering this was her first big role. Everything between them feels believable, nothing forced or fake, which makes it easy to get pulled into their world. The cool thing is how the movie doesn’t just use Chloe’s disability as a plot device, it’s actually central to the story and handled with a lot of respect. I can see this hitting differently for anyone with similar challenges; it doesn’t sugarcoat the obstacles but doesn’t make a big drama out of them either. Production-wise, it’s not a flashy movie. The cinematography and visuals are there to support the story, not show off. You can tell they cared more about the pacing and suspense than fancy camera tricks. Nothing Oscar-worthy on the technical side, but it gets the job done. Overall, it’s a tight, well-acted thriller that’s definitely worth a watch, especially if you like psychological suspense and stories that keep you guessing until the end. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review DMC M This surprised me, I wasn't sure what to expect but the story was good, the acting was good and it was very suspenseful right to the end. Not what I would classify as "horror" - there's no blood or anything like that so I hope that doesn't keep people away. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Michael M Movie was boring. Predictable, and kind of flat. Ending was in no way satisfying and the movie overall was really cringey and weird. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Hajar A Reaally good! A gulp of fresh air to have disabled representation in a main character in such an active and thrilling movie! I loved it Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/25 Full Review Chris S Run is one of those (in my experience) very rare cases where the execution is excellent, but the overall premise was clichéd and weak. While the tension built up through the movie was excellently done, I figured out the main twist 5-10 minutes into the movie. It was so obviously presented that I kept waiting for another twist that never came. The ending also left me disappointed and confused because it simply didn't make sense.
