1h 44m • Crime, Drama, Romance, Sport • 2020

A struggling father fights for his kids, his home, and his dignity, in this raw, unflinching boxing drama that hits far harder outside the ring.

In Kids Run, Andi, a volatile young father, fights to keep his family together while facing eviction, poverty, and his own demons. Director Barbara Ott’s debut is a bruising yet compassionate portrait of survival, more Raging Bull than Rocky, where every punch lands both physically and emotionally. With searing realism and gut-wrenching performances, this is cinema that leaves a mark.

Rialto Recommends: Kids Run. Gritty, tender, and fiercely human, Kids Run goes twelve rounds with despair and still finds grace in the struggle. Barbara Ott’s debut is a powerhouse of raw emotion anchored by a heartbreaking performance that turns hardship into poetry. No glory, no glamour, just the fight to keep going.
