"Stirring, emotional…Grandly entertaining, genuinely feel-great...Granny D for President!"

– Gerald Peary, The Boston Phoenix

 

"It's hard not to make a personal favorite out of Run Granny Run...one of the most inspiring true stories of our time. In a sea of terribly constructed political documentaries...Run Granny Run is a breath of fresh air"

– Michael Lerman, Indiewire

 

"For the most part, I could care less about politically themed documentaries since I tend to think that they all have the same message and tend to preach to one side too much. This documentary, however, focused more on the spirit of one tough woman who truly refuses to let her age be an issue, and I enjoyed this documentary quite a bit…Doris may be ninety-four but she possesses a wit and humor that can rival that of any Hollywood screenwriter…an amazing look into the life of Doris Haddock...This film has even given me a new outlook on democracy in America...one of those great underdog stories. To see a woman of such advanced years still have a fighting spirit inspires a young person such as myself...a truly heartfelt film"

– Zack Haddad, Film Threat

 

"Vastly entertaining...one of the most captivating election documentaries in recent memory...The film unfolds with a powerful and universal story about a citizen’s love for her country.  Run Granny Run should be required viewing for anyone between the ages of 4 and 94, whether you can vote or not."

– Matt Dentler, SXSW

 

"Inspiring!"

– Sofia Resnick, The Austin Chronicle
