Film ThreatPaul ParcellinMar 21, 2019
An uplifting experience that doesn’t allow sport and competition to overshadow the stories of the runners’ lives. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKimber MyersMar 21, 2019
This is a moving documentary that treats its subjects with the dignity and respect they don’t always get but certainly deserve. Read full review

Time OutSarah BradburyFeb 21, 2019
It’s a story of achievement against all odds, of community and kindness in the darkest places, and of the simple power of putting one foot in front of the other to reclaim a life. I challenge even the coldest of heart to not be touched by its message. Read full review

Skid Row Marathon is a light-hearted attempt to show a softer side of a pressing issue.

The GuardianLeslie FelperinFeb 21, 2019
Undeniably uplifting, even if the string-laden score strains too hard to tweak the tear ducts, this US-made documentary tracks a running group of recovering addicts and paroled convicts who train for marathons together. Read full review
