Critic Reviews for Running Brave

All Critics (2) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1)

  • 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.

    Chicago Sun-Times

  • No one will mistake Running Brave for a great work of art, but it's an overlooked film that young people should see.

Audience Reviews for Running Brave

  • May 06, 2016
    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.
