      Steve D Surprisingly well made bio with a powerful script. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/09/23 Full Review Audience Member An inspirational story of what you can achieve if you are determined enough and work hard. The usual rags to riches and then conquer the Olympics is nothing new but it does tackle stronger issues based on racial and class prejudice. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review william s Little seen inspirational running movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty much for runners only (even if you're a frustrated one full of cold). But then if you can't enjoy a true story sports biopic about a Sioux Indian at Christmas then when can you. Very enjoyable stuff. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member An inspirational film about a native American runner, but why Robby Benson? Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A little slow (no pun intended) in parts, but the final race is classic. Every runner must watch this movie. "It's Gomudi and Clark. Here comes Billy Mills!" I don't know how many times I have relived this moment during my running over the years. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times It's well made but it's not electrifying. One thing about Rocky is that it wasn't reluctant to pull out all the stops. Running Brave has been made with a certain gentle restraint that may work against it. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 20, 2018 Full Review John A. Nesbit Old School Reviews No one will mistake Running Brave for a great work of art, but it's an overlooked film that young people should see. Rated: B- Sep 1, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews
