Run (2020)

"Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen are equally strong in Aneesh Chaganty's relentless thriller."

"A psychological thriller with frustratingly little to say about the trenches of the human mind, Run nevertheless satisfies as a taut and titillating get-out movie that lands somewhere between HBO's Sharp Objects and Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?"

"Aneesh Chaganty's new thriller is taut, suspenseful, and unexpectedly tragic thanks to the lead performances."

"A nifty little thriller whose title pleads for an exclamation point."

"Run isn't always a clever film, but it is a film in which the characters are clever, and it seems determined to avoid the kind of moments that leave you yelling at the screen in frustration about how terrible someone's choices are."

"Chaganty is actively expanding audiences' ideas of what movie heroes can be."

"You'll be able to figure out where Run is headed pretty quickly, but that doesn't detract from the precise thrills and campy fun along the way."

"A brittle, nasty bit of fun."

"Dueling excellent performances from a deranged Sarah Paulson and spunky newcomer Kiera Allen (in her feature debut) make it hard to look away from the screen, not that the pacing of Geganty and Sev Ohanian's script allows much opportunity for distraction."

"Chaganty has a firm grasp on building Hitchcockian suspense and knows how to keep things moving along at breakneck speed. There are no real surprises in store, but that's okay. Even with a basic plot we've seen before, Run delivers on the thrills."

"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."
