Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter Highly motivational. Mar 20, 2019 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian Undeniably uplifting, even if the string-laden score strains too hard to tweak the tear ducts, this US-made documentary tracks a running group of recovering addicts and paroled convicts who train for marathons together. Rated: 3/5 May 4, 2018 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Film Festival Today One person really can make a difference. Rated: 4/4 Mar 31, 2019 Full Review Paul Parcellin Film Threat Skid Row Marathon is an uplifting experience that doesn't allow sport and competition to overshadow the stories of the runners' lives. Rated: 9/10 Mar 21, 2019 Full Review David Brake One Room With A View A message and movie that everyone can get on board with. Rated: 4/5 Feb 13, 2019 Full Review Rob Aldam Backseat Mafia It's a film about understanding, tolerance and allowing people the opportunity to turn over a new leaf.

Leaburn O Liked this uplifting documentary. Not much else to say. Saw it on Prime. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Do you care? About humans helping humans? Centered on the story of 1 judge and the homeless problem in Los Angeles, the filmmakers share with us the power of altruism and the drive of the endurance spirit… and how a simple selfless act can fix a problem that plagues cities across America. You don't have to be a runner to love this film.. just ask, do you care? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member What a great documentary! I was fortunate to be invited to the premier in Houston Texas. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm a tough cookie but this movie was inspirational. Nicely understated, not too long, just told the story of a running judge and the people who helps. This movie should have made a bigger splash. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Documentary about inmates running 10 out of 10 definitely not click bait Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/06/19 Full Review Audience Member Great documentary with an even greater message. Wish I could watch it again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
