Rona, fresh out of rehab, returns to the Orkney Islands; a place both wild and beautiful right off the Scottish coast. After more than a decade of living life on the edge in London, where she both found and lost love, Rona – now 30 – attempts to come to terms with her troubled past. As she reconnects with the dramatic landscape where she grew up, memories of her traumatic childhood merge with more recent challenging events that have set her on the path to recovery.
An exceptional performance from Saoirse Ronan powers this affecting, slow-moving drama about addiction and hope.
★★★★
Those in recovery, and those close to someone who is, ought to find something nourishing in The Outrun, a stirring reminder of the human capacity to regroup, to accept a bitter past and anticipate a better future.
★★★★
It’s Ronan who becomes the film’s most dizzying and mesmeric effect, as the actress feels like an anachronism unto herself in such a modern role.
★★★★
