"Francis Poletti writes books for children, but her stories are for everyone. They’re stories about women in history who were the first to achieve something, and what they had to battle against at that time, and how they preserved and pushed through and ended up achieving their dreams. “The Girl Who Ran,” is about a young heroine who is told that women can’t run, that running is against the rules, but she does it anyway."

"I suppose there is a theme to my puberty list that could be summed up as “Live Free or Die Trying.” There is no battle for liberation, no desperate struggle to be seen on your own terms, that does not owe a debt to this film. Such sentiment is delivered romantically, tragically, and with unbearable beauty in this grande bataille, the likes of which you can still feel all over France, all over the world"

Seeing more Volturi already made this movie great. Movie is good, it continues the story and leads to an end - the War, and Happily Ever After. Watched it in the Cinema. During the war, every person in their seat was shocked, and laughed when it turned out to be Alice's vision. That is one well-made ending. Fans were given a great battle, and see their favorite characters survive.
