Run This Town Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Arielle Bernstein
This is well-trod territory in 2020, explored richly in any number of TV shows and films, and the choice to center Run This Town on Millennial malaise is an odd one.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
I never for a second forgot that I watching an actor under piles of makeup.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Amy Nicholson
I did buy the freshness and the youth in this world of industries dying.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
An involving but stretched-thin journo procedural.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Smart, ambitious and impressive, "Run This Town" is the best kind of feature directing debut, a film that entertains and makes you look forward to what will come next.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The movie never quite reconciles its assorted perspectives into a coherent point of view.
Variety
Joe Leydon
A wildly uneven but occasionally insightful drama about not-so-innocent bystanders in the orbit of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford.

Brian Tallerico
The rare independent film that feels like it bites off way more than it can chew.
Crooked Marquee
Marshall Shaffer
Run This Town speaks effectively to a particular brand of millennial frustration.
The Spool
Dot Green
If you're looking for a cogent argument about class, gender, race, and opportunity in the modern professional world, it simply doesn't deliver.

Mark Dujsik
In trying to or simply falling into addressing so many issues, Run This Town loses its primary focus...
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
The screenplay by writer-director Ricky Tollman is a real mess that tries to cram together two storylines when one would have more than sufficed and then proceeds to botch both of them.
Assignment X
Abbie Bernstein
Has intelligent observations about how financial necessity and ambition can easily overtake morality.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
The helmer doesn't always succeed with his storytelling, but he's made a lively endeavor about a profoundly disturbing situation.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
An all-too-common portrait of how ambitious millennials are subjected to shameful treatment by their bosses.
The Film Stage
John Fink
While this is by no means the most comprehensive way to convey the story of Ford, it is one way to tell it with a straight face and real stakes.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
The late Rob Ford is portrayed as a ravenous monster of a man, I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it's pure soap, even as gritty as it gets.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Despite some intriguing character dynamics and scrappy performances, it features lots of talking with little to say.
Hollywood News
Joey Magidson
When you can't even make Rob Ford a captivating figure, you know something has gone very wrong.
Solzy at the Movies
Danielle Solzman
Run This Town had the potential to tell a really solid story about the downfall of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford but falls flat in its efforts to do so.
