Critic Reviews for Run

All Critics (123) | Top Critics (25) | Fresh (110) | Rotten (13)

A campy thriller that pits [a woman] against her disabled teenage daughter in a battle of wits that isn't quite sharp enough.

Paulson will be fine after this misstep. Ditto Allen, who could not be a more appealing lead or a resourceful damsel-in-distress.

I highly recommend checking it out. As long as you don't feel the need, like Chloe, to ask too many pesky questions.

Sara Stewart
Book & Film Globe
It's a lean 90 minutes, and you want the experience to be over in the best of ways: it's almost too intense at points, and you need to take a breath.

Probably my favorite thriller that I've seen in recent memory.

An extremely effective edge of your seat thrill with a wildly impressive feature debut performance from Kiera Allen.

Chaganty fully commits to delivering breathless thrills and outrageous revelations, rather than lecturing us about the real-world implications.

Oozes tension and reveals that keep you nervously tapping the entire runtime.

Chaganty has achieved great things with his second feature, which is a must-see for those who love a good adrenaline rush.

Run is a subpar genre piece with good intentions if nothing else.

Eric Marchen
Rogers TV
While utterly predictable, Run keeps its head above water thanks to some nimble filmmaking and a great debut performance by Allen. After this latest use of Munchausen syndrome by proxy, though, it might be time to retire that storytelling device.

Clocking in at an economical 90 minutes, [Run] traverses through familiar beats, but its taut pacing and all-in performances elevate it well-above standard thriller fare.
