Run is that rare beast that tells you in the trailer exactly what’s going to happen and still manages to surprise and shock you. Read full review

Run showcases the whiplash intensity and cold calculation of Sarah Paulson at her peak, with intense moments that will leave you breathless. Read full review

Deftly filmed and edited, Run is undoubtedly effective on the small screen, but few other films this year have built and held tension this expertly, so as to be immediately worthy of a room full of people reacting in unison.

Despite a script (by Chaganty and Sev Ohanian) that sees no need to flavor its tension with flashbacks or character-fleshing, Run has fun with its ludicrous plot. Read full review

In spite of a few nail-biting sequences, Run is more of a slog than a sprint. Read full review

Leah Greenblatt

If the plot tends to outline its intentions in Sharpie — and veer into pure silliness by the final third — their presence pulls all that ridiculosity over the finish line: hardly a home run, but still a brittle, nasty bit of fun. Read full review

Forget the title; the film barely works itself up into a half-hearted trot. It isn’t even howl-worthy in its campiness or badness, with one notable exception. Read full review

Why is this consider a thriller? There's no thrill in this movie, it's terrifying. This should be labeled a horror, this is Psychological Horror at it's finest and I loved it.

Intrépida, audaz e intrigante. Una historia muy buena ejecutada brillantemente a la perfección llena de detalles y giros inesperados; las actuaciones y la banda sonora son otros factores que vuelven a esta película una verdadera joya del 2020

A straight-forward thriller/horror film that is in the same vein of Misery, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane and Mommie Dearest. Sarah Paulson, of course, is excellent.

The brilliant Sarah Paulson (American Horror Story) stars as the mother of a supposedly sick child that she's spent 17 years taking care of her. The young woman Chloe, played by solid newcomer Kiera Allen begins to suspect her mother may be the one keeping her sick. The movie is intense and edge of your seat filled with clever twists and turns. Although the material is familiar its executed creatively by Aneesh Chaganty of the criminally underseen Searching. This would have been great in theaters but is still damn good at home. ****/5

I really dug this and did not expect to. It gets going right away and doesn't look back. The pacing is excellent. While there isn't non-stop action, you still feel very engaged and don't want to miss a thing. I really dig the tone at the end. Very fitting.

Well, Streamers, it seems that this season there will be new movies coming out like bargain hunters on Black Friday, except it’s still mostly online. Hulu premiered a thriller, Run, starring Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen this week. The sinister tagline of this movie is this: You Can’t EscapeWell, Streamers, it seems that this season there will be new movies coming out like bargain hunters on Black Friday, except it’s still mostly online. Hulu premiered a thriller, Run, starring Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen this week. The sinister tagline of this movie is this: You Can’t Escape a Mother’s Love. Hmmm… let’s see.

Run is the story of Chloe Sherman (Allen), a wheelchair-bound homeschooled 17-year-old, whose mother, Diane (Paulson), is consumed by caring for the teen and is overprotective. Diane provides Chloe her medications, physical therapy, sets a strict educational curriculum and a stricter diet to manage all of Chloe’s ailments. As Chloe awaits acceptance from the colleges she’s applied to, Diane begins to tighten the already constricting reins; and Chloe begins to question her mother’s motives as things stop adding up. A sick child, who wants more freedom, and an overprotective parent, who resists at every turn – c’mon, you know where this is going.

Run is directed by Aneesh Chaganty, who wrote and directed the very engaging and original Searching (2018), which was similarly a thriller about a parent-child relationship. Unfortunately, Run isn’t even trying to be original. The twists are predictable and the turns are laughable. It fits right into the canon of Lifetime “Original” Movies of paint-by-numbers thrillers. The best part of this film is the feature debut of Kiera Allen. Allen is feisty and curious enough to make what her character does understandable, but the movie itself is just too obvious and ridiculous to be believed.

Ultimately, there’s nothing to run to in Run. If you’ve see one Lifetime movie, you’ve seen them all. Run does nothing to improve on this story. Although it’s less than 90 minutes, your time could be better used this weekend catching up with your family or friends or shopping online. Give Run one popped kernel, if you must.… Expand
