Podobno nie da się uciec od matczynej miłości… Dla niepełnosprawnej Chloe (Kiera Allen) nie jest to pocieszenie, lecz zagrożenie. Jej związek z matką, Diane (Sarah Paulson) to toksyczne uzależnienie. Diane wychowywała córkę w całkowitej izolacji, kontrolując każdy ruch, który wykonała od urodzenia. Dojrzewająca Chloe powoli wyplątuje się ze szczelnego miłosnego kokonu, w którym tkwiła. Gdy zaczyna odkrywać matczyne sekrety, prawda okazuje się przerażająca... Ale czy będąc uwięzionym na inwalidzkim wózku, można uwolnić się od kogoś, kto kocha cię najbardziej na świecie? (Monolith)

Run would have worked better as a 50-minute episode of Bad Moms. As a feature-length film, it completely lacks an opening introduction of the characters and their initially healthy mother/daughter relationship. It immediately starts off with suspicions and deteriorating trust. Psychologically, the film thus works miserably, pulled forward only by suspenseful scenes according to classic genre templates. It’s not boring, but it doesn’t come anywhere close to fulfilling its potential.

Earlier this year I saw the nicely edited trailer for Run, the story looked familiar and predictable, but the name of Aneesh Chaganty, the director of the excellent Searching, made me believe in it, and I told myself: “I’m sure he’ll come out with a shocking twist, it’ll be great, like his début”. But alas. Run is well made, it’s tense and with good performances and it makes you invested in the heroine, it’s also well written, so the behaviour of the characters doesn’t make you shake your head in disbelief, but what’s the point when it all goes exactly in the direction that everyone can figure out already after reading the synopsis or watching the trailer. It still deserves thumbs up, though, everything is where it should be, but that’s all there is to it, and it’s not enough if we consider the sum of all the talent on screen.

Two good actresses in a woefully predictable story. I'm quite surprised that Aneesh Chaganty made such a useless film after the brilliant and original Searching.

I was really looking forward to Run and I'm satisfied, the only thing that disappoints me is that a lot of interesting scenes from the trailer were cut in the film for unknown reasons. However, of the pure thrillers this year, Run is undoubtedly one of the best. The film is built around two female characters, who are played to perfection. Sarah Paulson and Toni Collette are perhaps the only female actresses I like because of how they act and not because of their looks, and here they give their typical psycho performance that is more than a little unnerving. Kiera Allen as the daughter is also very believable and above all intelligent. I liked that Run doesn't wait for much and builds up an uncomfortable atmosphere from the start. There are some solid twists and interesting ideas, I was constantly in suspense as to how it would all play out, and I'm pleased with the denouement as well. Aneesh Chaganty has once again made a decent film. I had a great time. Story****, Action>No, Humor>No, Violence**, Entertainment****, Music****, Visuals****, Atmosphere****, Suspense****. 8/10.

A very good King adaptation, but one that is not by King. The film is gripping, and the performances of the reliably great Sarah Paulson and debutant Kiera Allen contribute to this, as does the brisk script with no room for boredom, or the direction, which doesn't need lavish shots and makes the most of the minimum by perhaps "only" showing us an important thing a few seconds later than the protagonist.

I would sum this thriller up with the words from classic Jára Cimrman Lying, Sleeping: "And is that enough, Anton Pavlovich?"

After reading the synopsis, Run reminded me of the TV series The Act and the classic film What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, although I haven't seen either (yet), so it's nothing new in terms of story. Acting-wise, it is handled well ("Lana Banana" knows how to portray unstable characters) and it even managed to make me tense a few times. Yet I felt that a little more could have been wrung out of the premise to make this "toxic maternal love story" more intense at the end. Better three stars!

An insanely instantaneous thing. Watchable, but a couple of hours after watching it I don't really know what to even mention, except perhaps that it features a pharmacist (who goes by the name of Kathy Bates, hee hee) who knows offhand that if someone eats a particular powder meant for dogs they'll lose feeling in their legs, but doesn't recognize the asthma attack happening right in front of her.

The main strength of the psycho-thriller Run is the slowly thickening atmosphere and the excellent performances of Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen. I devoured the film until about halfway through, but then there were a few clichéd twists that I could have done without. That is why, although I am very reluctant to, I have to take one star away from my originally intended four stars. (65%)
