Runner Ratings & Reviews
KUNR (Reno, NV)
Robin Holabird
Focusing on the journey rather than finish, the documentary runs well as motivating inspiration for many walks-or, make that runs-of life.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
[Confirms] Chaganty as an exciting torchbearer of weird, adult genre cinema for our increasingly twisted times.
The Movie Cricket
Sean P. Means
The best thing about "Runner" is Guor himself, a humble and sympathetic character whose life has more twists than the average thriller.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
You don't have to be a sports fan or even a documentary fan to be moved by watching Runner. It's not about winning Olympic medals. Long after [Guor Mader] Maker retires from the sport, his impact on the people he's inspired will be felt for generations.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Peter Rainer
A worthy subject for a film. It's a bit scattershot as a piece of documentary filmmaking... But it's a powerful movie.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
I love this film. It's so powerful, moving, and inspirational.
Epoch Times
Mark Jackson
Sad about the cancelled 2020 Summer Olympics? Here's your Olympic fix, and then some; a great, true tale of a South Sudanese world-class runner. Heartwarming is putting it lightly.
Common Sense Media
Tara McNamara
Stirring, inspiring sports docu about overcoming adversity.
KDHX (St. Louis)
Diane Carson
We should be so fortunate as to learn from such a noble man.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
A stirring documentary about an African refugee who becomes an Olympic marathoner.
Film Threat
Kyle Bain
Riveting, enjoyable, and heart-wrenching from beginning to end.
Phoenix Film Festival
Jeff Mitchell
Sprint to Guor's inspirational tale.
AIPT
Nathaniel Muir
A moving sports documentary that tells a story straight out of Hollywood. Emotional and impactful, it also serves as a commentary on how things have changed.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A powerfully inspirational tale that could tide you over until the next Olympics.
