Top CriticWith so little action or even insight, Marathon is far too long at only 74 minutes.
04/08/04
Top CriticIt makes for a satisfyingly excruciating experience.
04/08/04
Top CriticThe real star ... is Michael Simmonds, whose manic black-and-white camerawork captures the unique vibrancy of New York City.
04/08/04
Top CriticA visual valentine to New York subways and streets as well as a meditation on the universal human yearning to test ourselves against self-imposed limits..
04/08/04
Marathon contains nothing more than its thin premise.
04/03/04
A portrait of a certain urbanite mind and a city whose tolerance of anonymity provides a perfect stage for compulsion, neuroses and the fulfillment of hidden needs.
04/02/04
Top CriticWhat really makes the film work is Paul's striking performance.
04/02/04
A minimalist’s dream film, “Marathon” should be able to find a small but very devoted group of fans, eager to experience something quiet and thought-provoking.
04/01/04
The beauty of Mr. Naderi's filmmaking lies in his combination of acute social observation and pure, almost mathematical formalism.
04/01/04
Top CriticCrossword mavens may enjoy it, but it's too monomaniacal for comfort.
04/01/04
Marathon offers one of the most inventive reimaginings of the MTA since D.A. Pennebaker's 1953 cine-poem Daybreak Express.
03/30/04
Top CriticLudicrously long at this running time -- even seven minutes would have overstated its case -- Marathon truly lives up to its name.
03/30/04
It's certainly a gem; a probable "underground" masterpiece.

I get it, she’s always isolated. She’s a lonely soul. Noise makes her feel a part of something. But this film could have been 7-minutes long and part of my Film Techniques class and I would have got that.
