A life-changing race is ahead of a 12-year-old Kyrgyz boy who finds freedom and escape from family burdens in his exceptional skill as a runner.

Elizabeth Kerr

The Hollywood Reporter

Running to the Sky has no grand statements to make, and no hot-button issues to deal with, but it does paint a delicate and layered portrait of everyday life for one young boy as he bears more weight than he should for his age.

The Skinny

Shot with documentary-like restraint, Running to the Sky is an empathetic and mature sketch of a young man finding his feet.

Screen International

A coming of age drama told with such charm and sensitivity that it registers high on the likeability scale.
