Description: A
homeschooled teenager (Keira Allen) begins to suspect her mother (Sarah Paulson)
is keeping a dark secret from her.
Review: Dependent Chloe has been raised in complete home isolation by her mother
Diane. She is chronically ill, but is handy with technology and is waiting for
an acceptance letter to the University of Washington. In doing so, Diane insist
that she doesn’t mind Chloe leaving home, but little by little Chloe discovers
that’s not quite true. In fact, ever since she was born, her mother has been
controlling everything. Chloe only really discovers that something is not right
about her mother’s story when she suddenly has to take a new unfamiliar pill,
which seems to have been prescribed to her mother. Slowly but surely, Chloe
discovers the oppressive truth.
“Run” is the new fil by
Anees Chaganty, the Indian-American director that was also responsible for the
surprisingly good “Searching”. Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen star as the mother
and daughter and both really give away a great performance. And since this film
centers primarily around them and mostly in one location, the acting is key.
Although “Run” is a bit
predictable at times, Chaganty manages to bring everything sot that the film is
regularly exciting and tense. And you especially sympathize with Chloe in her struggle
to find out the truth.
“Run” is a strongly acted psychological
thriller.
Rating: 3/ 5
