Shana Feste’s initially grounded “Run Sweetheart Run” takes the concept of a “bad date” and runs with it to wild extremes, unfurling a white-hot, blood-soaked yowl of feminine rage in a tidy horror package that can barely contain all its biggest ideas.
Run Sweetheart Run has a fierceness to its story that has to be admired, and paired with Balinska’s committed performance, the horror film is a must-watch.

Um filme excepcionalmente promissor, o começo me lembrou bastante o "Noites brutais", com a ambientação típica e digna de um suspense, e ainda por cima sendo mais evidente o romance da protagonista com o rapaz que virá a ser seu algoz.
As atuações estão apenas ok, mas a direção consegue captar o nível de tensão, você aperta os dedos seguindo a câmera na iminência de encontrar o menor sinal de alerta de perigo, e quando ocorre, o "Run" escrito na tela ficou sensacional, você embarca junto.
Ocorre que o desenrolar é tudo genérico demais, é como se, ao começar a diversão, fosse inserida a mensagem já citada acima e, a partir daí, o desleixo pudesse tomar conta da produção. Não há mais nada inovador, não há mais nada que nos prenda, e para piorar, as soluções do roteiro para pôr a mocinha sempre em perigo são tão desleixadas quanto o desfecho.
Estava indo bem como terror psicológico e perseguição da masculinidade tóxica, mas foi adentrar pelo reino do sobrenatural que o filme se perdeu de vez, criando um monstro risível, no lugar de algo que realmente era assustador.
Quando é que as produtoras irão entender que o terror mental é bem mais poderoso do que um monstro que consegue se regenerar? Que o suspense é mais agoniante do que uma chuva de sangue? E que piegas uma "água benta" hein? O filme tornou-se involuntariamente uma comédia.
Além de tudo isso, os personagens secundários foram uma espécie de caricatura, ainda bem que ao menos a mocinha é digna e consegue segurar a projeção.
Report
At first, the theme it explores seemed pretty good, perhaps a bit trite at times, but it seemed to be on the right track, however, as it starts to become more and more implausible and borderline ridiculous - The dude smelled her because of her menstrual blood - even with the explanation, the metaphor of the battle against the patriarchy is lost, and what is left doesn't leave any kind of satisfying resolution.
Ella Balinska plays a competent lead within what the story gives her to do her job, yet the film is tremendously forgettable.
Report
While it takes a while to get there after dancing around its premise, when Run Sweetheart Run hits its stride it is more than worth running along with it.
Keeping audiences at a distance—watching and empathizing with Cherie, but never building suspense regarding her survival—Run Sweetheart Run loses its breath long before Cherie’s story arrives at its ludicrous conclusion.
The movie’s premise has the potential to bring something fresh to the horror genre, and Balinska and Asbaek commit fully to their characters. But the script is flat and unimaginative; there’s at once too much information and not nearly enough that reflects how people actually talk to each other.
It’s difficult to fault a film for being over-ambitious given the low-effort nature of so many genre films but the sheer, two-joints-in bizarreness of Run Sweetheart Run needed a surer hand to guide us through. As it is, that run to the finish line ends up feeling like a crawl.
Feste’s script does nothing to establish its world. While first appearing to be tethered to reality, Run Sweetheart Run soon recontextualizes itself as supernatural without telegraphing or even justifying its decisions.
Can I see these characters race swapped? Of course not cause it's only white men that are evil. Hard pass
Keep it up Amazon....
