In spite of a few nail-biting sequences, <em>Run<\/em> is more of a slog than a sprint.<\/p>\n<p id=\"nxYWBy\">Chaganty and co-writer Sev Ohanian, teaming up again after <em>Searching<\/em>, give <em>Run<\/em> a sparsely effective setup. Three scenes in quick succession make plain the physical toll and potential horror of childbirth. A tiny baby lies on a hospital bed, hooked up to machines and surrounded by doctors. After a difficult labor, Diane Sherman (Paulson) fervently prays. When she finally sees her baby again, she presses her hand against the side of the incubator that\u2019s keeping the little girl alive. Her face shows trepidation at first, then relief, then anxiety \u2014 a shifting array of emotion that reveals a certain single-mindedness. Diane is a mother, and nothing else matters to her more.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4FG2i8\">Years later, Diane remains devoted to Chloe (Kiera Allen), who survived her challenging infancy but has remained varyingly sick ever since. An intertitle shares Chloe\u2019s myriad health problems: arrhythmia, hemochromatosis, asthma, diabetes, paralysis. To the other parents in her home-schooling group, Diane is outwardly boastful of her daughter\u2019s accomplishments (\u201cChloe is the most capable person I know\u201d), but they\u2019re clearly codependent. Diane\u2019s entire identity is tied up in being Chloe\u2019s mother: dictating her school schedule, serving as her advocate to doctors, fetching her many prescriptions, tending to a sizable organic garden that provides all their vegetables.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-wide-block\">\n<figure class=\"e-image\"> <span class=\"e-image__inner\"> <span class=\"e-image__image \" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061377\/run_d09_01349_c_1.jpg\"> <picture class=\"c-picture\" data-cid=\"site\/picture_element-1606045384_5018_8511\" data-cdata=\"{&quot;asset_id&quot;:22061377,&quot;ratio&quot;:&quot;*&quot;}\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/VG0pWH2lvqbAhnzFbfEJIDIsQNo=\/0x0:4240x2158\/320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:4240x2158):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061377\/run_d09_01349_c_1.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/FsF7h-fQv1Ejzf2ud338lx1oBQk=\/0x0:4240x2158\/520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:4240x2158):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061377\/run_d09_01349_c_1.jpg 520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/kFPnnpwzQluH-Fkltj_HiScE31M=\/0x0:4240x2158\/720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:4240x2158):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061377\/run_d09_01349_c_1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/zKV3NIo9oPjS-6E-zyeys4va-p0=\/0x0:4240x2158\/920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:4240x2158):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061377\/run_d09_01349_c_1.jpg 920w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/4yVupvmWUj0eJuMKSLy-3uPX4_0=\/0x0:4240x2158\/1120x0\/filters:focal(0x0:4240x2158):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061377\/run_d09_01349_c_1.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/HwjQK07861vL5WPfF9J2p2AXx5g=\/0x0:4240x2158\/1320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:4240x2158):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061377\/run_d09_01349_c_1.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/oBtTF-zu-zoUdGiyTosacDV-6qs=\/0x0:4240x2158\/1520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:4240x2158):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061377\/run_d09_01349_c_1.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/GyOoywm9b-f0COnaXuNx4GF1YhQ=\/0x0:4240x2158\/1720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:4240x2158):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061377\/run_d09_01349_c_1.jpg 1720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/qLdxP42pyEnATJxIuR5URgu5304=\/0x0:4240x2158\/1920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:4240x2158):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061377\/run_d09_01349_c_1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"90vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-2.jpg 320w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-3.jpg 520w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-4.jpg 720w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-5.jpg 920w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-6.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-7.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-8.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-9.jpg 1720w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-10.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"90vw\" alt=\"Kiera Allen, in a wheelchair, pauses at the top of a darkened staircase in Hulu\u2019s Run\" data-upload-width=\"4240\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run.jpg\"> <\/picture> <\/span> <\/span> <span class=\"e-image__meta\"> <cite>Photo: Hulu<\/cite> <\/span> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p id=\"914Gq3\">And Chloe, understandably, relies on her mother for everything. There\u2019s a snappy rhythm to the montage Chaganty uses to demonstrate this reliance: Chloe gets up every morning, maneuvers herself into her wheelchair, coughs up phlegm, takes her morning pills, eats the fresh organic breakfast Diane has cooked, gets to work on physics, literature, biology, and robotics, takes her afternoon pills, eats the fresh organic dinner Diane has cooked, and does her homework. It\u2019s monotonous and unchanging. <\/p>\n<p id=\"AMc1Bm\">The only potential surprise in Chloe\u2019s life is whether she\u2019ll be accepted by the University of Washington. If so, it will be Chloe\u2019s first time out in the world on her own, which may be what sparks Diane\u2019s reckless behavior. As <em>Run<\/em> progresses, the bond between mother and daughter transforms into an escalating series of reactions fueled by obsession and mistrust. What has been going on for years in this house deep in the woods in a small town, and when did it become a prison?<\/p>\n<p id=\"NhzFhx\">Unlike in the methodical whodunnit <em>Searching<\/em>, Chaganty and Ohanian don\u2019t tiptoe around character motivations in <em>Run<\/em>, which makes for a surprisingly flat story. Torin Borrowdale\u2019s score, decorated with genre flourishes like screeching strings and moody synths, adds a spooky vibe, but it can\u2019t bear the burden alone. Some of the plot developments are initially unsettling, like Chloe\u2019s internet being disconnected right when tries to research some of the pills her mother has provided.<\/p>\n<p id=\"dyAT71\">But a little attention adds too much doubt to this narrative: Teenage Chloe has had access to the Internet for years, but never made a social-media account? She\u2019s presented as being genius-level smart with robotics, but that same brain has never wondered about the claustrophobic insularity of her world with her mother? She\u2019s never thought about pursuing a romantic relationship, or wondered why her mother has never introduced her to other children, or encouraged her to make friends? There is a disconnect in <em>Run<\/em> between how competent and intelligent Chloe is vs. how long it takes her to act in her own self-interest, and probing too much at that divide makes <em>Run<\/em>\u2019s plot seem a little goofier than it should be.<\/p>\n<p id=\"mPSTOH\">The performances are the film\u2019s strongest assets, with the action sequences close behind. Although there are cheeky moments throughout (a reference to Stephen King\u2019s Derry, Maine, and a movie Diane and Chloe go see called <em>Breakout<\/em>), Paulson and Allen play most of this fairly straight. That directness adds needed tension, helping align the audience with Chloe\u2019s realization that something isn\u2019t right with her mother, and revealing the depths of Diane\u2019s villainy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-wide-block\">\n<figure class=\"e-image\"> <span class=\"e-image__inner\"> <span class=\"e-image__image \" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061378\/run_d035_06496_r_1.jpg\"> <picture class=\"c-picture\" data-cid=\"site\/picture_element-1606045384_1561_8512\" data-cdata=\"{&quot;asset_id&quot;:22061378,&quot;ratio&quot;:&quot;*&quot;}\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/0mJeP4MC_YFeCtg7Xg_ld3kgetk=\/0x0:6240x3306\/320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6240x3306):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061378\/run_d035_06496_r_1.jpg 320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/FzXY0jjy9WOlRjQ6_9togHL8IAk=\/0x0:6240x3306\/520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6240x3306):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061378\/run_d035_06496_r_1.jpg 520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/uO_xy70nI2TjBgImrMZI9BX4uP0=\/0x0:6240x3306\/720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6240x3306):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061378\/run_d035_06496_r_1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/2v6h8bMzcKeozKmZ-ary_yHgbOg=\/0x0:6240x3306\/920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6240x3306):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061378\/run_d035_06496_r_1.jpg 920w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/qINq7_ne3bIjY-lNJwdNxdGOb2Q=\/0x0:6240x3306\/1120x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6240x3306):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061378\/run_d035_06496_r_1.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/bx-QnMJJqblsOMX4bvlknT73igM=\/0x0:6240x3306\/1320x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6240x3306):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061378\/run_d035_06496_r_1.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/Pk3pYPdz96RGtm8jwQLRRagORE0=\/0x0:6240x3306\/1520x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6240x3306):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061378\/run_d035_06496_r_1.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/_W9cgz-TkCjEsZGh5C2vYdf0FiI=\/0x0:6240x3306\/1720x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6240x3306):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061378\/run_d035_06496_r_1.jpg 1720w, https:\/\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/O9NIfe8pCXjA83KZid73aE4ty7g=\/0x0:6240x3306\/1920x0\/filters:focal(0x0:6240x3306):format(webp):no_upscale()\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/22061378\/run_d035_06496_r_1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"90vw\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-11.jpg 320w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-12.jpg 520w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-13.jpg 720w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-14.jpg 920w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-15.jpg 1120w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-16.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-17.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-18.jpg 1720w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-19.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"90vw\" alt=\"Sarah Paulson sits upright in bed in a dark room in Hulu\u2019s Run\" data-upload-width=\"6240\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/even-sarah-paulsons-best-mommie-dearest-impression-cant-save-run-1.jpg\"> <\/picture> <\/span> <\/span> <span class=\"e-image__meta\"> <cite>Photo: Hulu<\/cite> <\/span> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p id=\"4r845J\">Allen is wonderfully emotive, and funny when the film allows, like when she cuts off the family pharmacist with an exasperated \u201cI know what<em> confidential<\/em> means, Mrs. Bates.\u201d Chaganty\u2019s choice to often frame her in stark close-ups where she\u2019s the only figure onscreen amps up the primal feel of her shocked, horrified, and ultimately vengeful reactions. The second half of <em>Run<\/em> demands significant physicality from Allen, and her full-body commitment hammers home the urgency of these sequences. The scenes where Chloe is unraveling the mystery of her mother are most in line with the cleverness of <em>Searching<\/em>, although there is an anticlimactic feeling to her discovery, given how far ahead of her the audience will be. <\/p>\n<p id=\"gI1vlk\">In spite of the staleness of Diane\u2019s character, Paulson\u2019s performance is enjoyably ferocious. Between various installments of <em>American Horror Story<\/em> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2020\/9\/18\/21445905\/ratched-review-netflix-one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest-ryan-murphy-sarah-paulson\"><em>One Flew Over the Cuckoo\u2019s Nest<\/em> prequel <em>Ratched<\/em><\/a>, Paulson has cultivated an ability to turn on a dime, transitioning effortlessly and unnervingly between calm reassurance, fragile anxiety, and volcanic anger. That mercurial quality defines her work in <em>Run<\/em>, which requires Diane to leverage all the compassion and sympathy society easily affords to white women \u2014 and exploit it for her own agenda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-end-para\" id=\"i9YZNw\">The dynamism of her introductory hospital scene, where Diane vacillates between concern and mania, lingers on throughout the film. It underscores how often this character uses victimhood as a shield; Paulson does well with passive-aggressive guilt tripping and put-upon martyrdom. Her snarling rage when she yells at Chloe for the first time is a real \u201cYou in danger, girl!\u201d moment, and she somehow makes a statement as innocuous as \u201cI\u2019ve got you\u201d sound like a bone-chilling threat. But Paulson\u2019s crazed manipulations are underserved by a narrative that collapses under the slightest scrutiny, and even a surprisingly nasty final scene can\u2019t fully make <em>Run<\/em> stand out from the steadily expanding Munchausen-syndrome-by-proxy subgenre. <\/p>\n<p id=\"Ho0nSJ\"><em><strong>Run<\/strong><\/em><strong> is streaming on Hulu now.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2020\/11\/20\/21583467\/run-review-hulu-sarah-paulson-thriller\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 15 minutes into Aneesh Chaganty\u2019s thriller Run, a telling scene solidifies the fear that it\u2019s going to commit the most grievous cinematic sin of all.
