| Common Sense MediaRenee SchonfeldIntense, awe-inspiring docu about extreme marathoners. |
| HeyUGuysSteven NeishAn astonishing piece of work, as spectacular as it is emotionally exhausting, as dynamic as it is rooted in the moment. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyThere’s an upbeat tenor to Desert Runners that develops real rooting value for the protags. |
| The ListNiki BoyleBy and large Steinman's shooting style is both sympathetic and unobtrusive, complemented by cinematographer Sevan Matossian's eye for humanity among these vast, unforgiving landscapes. |
| User ReviewMichael DAbsolutely riveting documentary of the physically and emotionally grueling series of ultra marathons in 4 of the worlds most punishing deserts. I found myself wanting to know more about the featured characters in the piece and even looked them up on the internet afterward to see what they're up to and how they're doing. The film looked great too. |
| User ReviewTim BGreat sports documentary. Very inspiring. Intertwined with personal stories of the athletes and what it took them to get to that point. |
| User ReviewEmbarr FAwe-inspiring human endurance & personal determination combine to defeat the planet's vast, empty spaces. Eventful, emotional and exhilarating. |
| User ReviewPCFORLIFESeriously a movie about running, who comes up with this crap, no one would ever watch this pile of crap, these sort of movies need to stop, as they are a complete waste of time and money. It is also extremely boring oh my look boring dialogue, boring scenery and OMG people are running, what complete **** garbage. Go watch something like Game of thrones, Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, House of Cards, South park, Simpsons, NCIS, Science fiction whatever just avoid these types of movies. Movies Pros - Great example what not to make Movie Cons - Is boring, **** Movie idea, **** Characters, Terrible dialogue I swear this should be a documentary not a stupid movie how dumb. |
