Jessica Kiang Variety An 87-minute-long anxiety attack masquerading as a movie - but in a good way - Lithuanian filmmaker Andrius Blaževičius' sophomore feature is a kinetic portrayal of an extraordinary young woman paradoxically trapped at a psychological impasse. Sep 1, 2021 Full Review Alan Zilberman Washington City Paper Parts of the film are frustrating, and downright suspenseful, because Marija earns our respect while no one else gives her any. Thanks to Jaktaitė's bracing performance, we know she also internalizes this hard-earned truth. Dec 4, 2021 Full Review Mariona Borrull El antepenúltimo mohicano [The characters'] legs run, yes, but only by resting on their own materiality, only by being present before the camera, can they give meaning to the aesthetic device that moves them, and us with them. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Aug 30, 2021 Full Review Laurence Boyce Cineuropa Blaevičius ventures further down his path of being one of the most interesting young directors in Lithuania today, with Runner continuing to show that the director has both an empathetic touch and a knack for exploring contemporary issues. Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Neil Young Screen International A kinetic, pummelling experience which rewards resilient viewers. Aug 25, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
