Running Against the Wind Reviews
TheArtsStl
Sarah Boslaugh
A good training or racing montage...can always lift the spirits, and the straightforward nature of running (the point is to cross the finish line first, and everyone can see who does so) makes the sport inherently film-friendly.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
A rich and charismatic film with natural appeal, Running Against The Wind may not quite measure up to its considerable ambition but certainly won't disappoint.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
At the very least, its light and uplifting mode is a welcome departure from the violent, overwhelmingly tragic course of most films set in Africa that are released in the United States. Sometimes happy endings do the trick.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
While a title card tells us the film is "inspired by true events," it's hard to find verification of them, or any background for the tale - no matter; where it winds up going isn't extreme enough to be unbelievable.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
As much as you might root for this scrappy and heartfelt Ethiopian drama, it bogs down in heavy-handed contrivances before reaching the finish line.
