影評：
• ……一部簡單但很有力量的電影……
• 柔伊李霍普金斯在《大餓媽咪向前衝》訴說了一個振奮人心的療癒故事。
• 長片《大餓媽咪向前衝》由柔伊李霍普金斯執導，講述一個中年人成長故事，全片在導演家鄉六國原住民保留區等地拍攝。
• 本片透過一位原住民女性的視角，講述一位30多歲女子面對人生蛻變。雖然以嚴肅的角度處理原住民所承受的世代創傷，但也是暖心、趣味且令人振奮的電影。
• 新片《大餓媽咪向前衝》的編劇兼導演柔伊霍普金斯表示，她要訴說Onkwehonwe族人的故事，看看這些故事能產生多深遠的影響。
「關於我們的電影還不夠多，」霍普金斯告訴TRT。「我們的幽默感，我們與地球和彼此之間的關係，沒有被呈現在大銀幕上，但我認為應該要。我的責任就是在電影上深入呈現我們的身分認同，目前看到的只屬於表層而已。」
Synopsis
Single mother Beck has been running from reality. Her “breakfast of champions” is a 5 cream, 5 sugar coffee, and donuts. Something has to give and it does when Beck finds herself in a diabetic coma and visited by a ghostly ancestor, the legendary Indigenous marathon runner Tom Longboat, who becomes her wise-cracking new life coach. Told with a lighthearted touch, Run Woman Run is a feel-good anti-rom-com about a woman who has to tackle the ghosts of her past before she can run toward a new future.

Reviews:
• …a small but powerful movie…
• Zoe Leigh Hopkins tells an uplifting story about healing in Run Woman Run.
• Zoe Leigh Hopkins, director of the feature film Run Woman Run, talks about telling a different kind of coming-of-age-in-your-thirties story, filming in her home of Six Nations, and more.
• It’s a film about coming of age in your thirties, but through the perspective of an Indigenous woman. It seriously addresses the intergenerational trauma that Indigenous people live with, but it’s a feel-good film that’s ultimately funny and uplifting.
• Zoe Hopkins, writer and director of the new film, Run Woman Run, said she tells stories for Onkwehonwe:we people and to see how far-reaching these stories can go.
“We don’t see enough of ourselves on the big screen,” Hopkins told the TRT. “We don’t see our sense of humour, relationships with the planet and each other — and I think there should be. Any contribution I can make to see more of ourselves in film is so important. We are still in the shallow end of representation.”
