Marathon Reviews
New York Times
Dave Kehr
The beauty of Mr. Naderi's filmmaking lies in his combination of acute social observation and pure, almost mathematical formalism.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
What really makes the film work is Paul's striking performance.
Newsday
John Anderson
A portrait of a certain urbanite mind and a city whose tolerance of anonymity provides a perfect stage for compulsion, neuroses and the fulfillment of hidden needs.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
With so little action or even insight, Marathon is far too long at only 74 minutes.
Boxoffice Magazine
Jordan Reed
Marathon contains nothing more than its thin premise.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
The real star ... is Michael Simmonds, whose manic black-and-white camerawork captures the unique vibrancy of New York City.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A visual valentine to New York subways and streets as well as a meditation on the universal human yearning to test ourselves against self-imposed limits..
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's certainly a gem; a probable "underground" masterpiece.
Film Threat
Ashley Cooper
Ludicrously long at this running time -- even seven minutes would have overstated its case -- Marathon truly lives up to its name.

I get it, she's always isolated. She's a lonely soul. Noise makes her feel a part of something. But this film could have been 7-minutes long and part of my Film Techniques class and I would have got that.

Edward Havens
A minimalist's dream film, "Marathon" should be able to find a small but very devoted group of fans, eager to experience something quiet and thought-provoking.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Crossword mavens may enjoy it, but it's too monomaniacal for comfort.
Newark Star-Ledger
Lisa Rose
It makes for a satisfyingly excruciating experience.
Village Voice
David Ng
Marathon offers one of the most inventive reimaginings of the MTA since D.A. Pennebaker's 1953 cine-poem Daybreak Express.
