Hulu acquired Run from Lionsgate this summer. The film was scheduled to hit theaters on Mother’s Day until the pandemic changed those plans. The film that centers on a homeschooled teenager who begins to suspect her mother is keeping a dark secret from her, is “certified fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes with a 93% out of 82 reviews.
Run is directed by Aneesh Chaganty, who made his directorial debut with the 2018 hit thriller Searching. The film snagged the Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival, highlighting Chaganty’s talent for creating engaging thrillers. After working with Chaganty on Searching, writer Sev Ohanian teamed up with the director again for Run.
The film also stars newcomer Kiera Allen, Sara Sohn, Pat Healy, Erik Athavale, BJ Harrison, Sharon Bajer and Tony Revolori.
