Run gives its dual leads a slim window for making first impressions and finding bases for their roles, which makes their performances and Chaganty’s direction doubly impressive.
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.
It's such a refreshingly unique thriller that doesn't stop putting me on the edge of my seat. The simplicity of the plot doesn't derail the tension at all, because the core idea is just so great, and the acting is totally on point. Please watch it! Highly recommended. It's on the level or maybe even transcends thrillers like Don't Breathe.
Whenever Paulson is on screen, she gives Run a much-needed jolt of vitality as this Munchausen’s-by-proxy monster in catalog knitwear. Her character’s devotion is as terrible as it is unshakeable, but what makes the turn so enjoyable is that it’s grounded in something recognizable — a soul-deep dread of being abandoned, hidden under a nurturer’s smile.
There’s enough go-for-broke and whiplash-inducing shifts in tone on display to suggest this filmmaking duo has a future, even when their characters don’t seem to have a past.
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.
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
It is just extremely predictable. Not bad, just generic. You will see each next plot line coming a mile away.
The ending for me was such an anti climax. If they would have made it more impactful i might have raised my score a little but nope. Overall i didn't mind it.
A well-made trailer based on stereotypes
1- The distinguishing point of the film is that all the main actors of the film are women. Maybe the insistence on this issue has caused gaps in the script. Dayan's past and secret need more focus and accuracy in the script.2- The acting of the main actors is very good and the cinematography is the same and some sequences are excellent with subtle editing.3- The attention to technique in the films of recent years has been noticeable and the advancement of technology has had a significant impact on cinema.4- The film finally becomes a central cliché and the end of the film originates from this.
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 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.
