Run
A thriller film. Released in 2020 via
streaming. Directed by Aneesh Chaganty. Starring Sarah Paulson and Kiera Allen.
It follows Chloe who is the only child of a
single mother named Diane, naturally physically disable, aiming to enter a
college. Chloe struggles to get away from Diane after she have recognized the
secrets which her mother had concealed.
Diane is giving off a threatening aura from
the beginning. Her languishing and severe face reminded me of my mother who was
way overprotected of me. I began to get irritated watching her, so I could
instantly identify with Chloe who gradually begins to distrust Diane. Then I
remembered when I despaired recognizing that the person whom I had thought of
as the most reliable in the world was anything but that as I watched Chloe
starting to be beset with doubts and fears, looking into various things behind
Diane and recognizing the terrible facts. I felt deep pity, sincerely
sympathized with her and mentally cheered her all my might. It was anyone
else's business. However, I conversely cooled down a little, for I remembered
that it is a fiction when the truth in her childhood becomes clear and it was far
sadder than my trivial emotional damage in the past which is generally not unique.
The movie is continuously thrilling from the early
stage to the final stage, full of a tense atmosphere to the end and good as a
thriller one. The two leads always gave a wonderful performance. Moreover, it
has become an unforgettable film because the story overlapped with a memory in
my childhood.
