Run
Stream
Chloe, a teenager who is confined to a wheelchair, is homeschooled by her mother, Diane. Chloe soon becomes suspicious of her mother and begins to suspect that she may be harboring a dark secret.
What critics thought
Run earns strong notices for its tension-building and Sarah Paulson's performance, though critics are split on whether the screenplay's familiar Munchausen-by-proxy premise and tonal lurches undercut the craft on display. The gap between critical enthusiasm and audience reception suggests the film's pulpy escalations work better for thriller devotees than general viewers.
“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.”
Ryan Lattanzio·IndieWire
“The film doubles up as an allegory and indictment of modern parenting – the control disguised as caregiving, the lack of identity, the incessant smothering, the manipulation, and the blurred line between selflessness and selfishness”
