The Outrun
After 10 years of spiralling into addiction in London, Rona (an extraordinary Saoirse Ronan) returns home to the Orkney Islands, hoping to maintain her recovery.
Attempting to reconcile her complex family history as well as her destructive past behaviours, she takes a job with a wildlife conservation charity-allowing her to connect with the nature of her childhood home.
Nora Fingscheidt presents a vivid adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s personal memoir of addiction, powered by an extraordinary central performance from Saoirse Ronan. She beautifully portrays Rona’s fragility and grit as she journeys from destruction to serenity. With a pounding soundtrack, a kinetic visual style and intricate narrative structure, this extraordinarily moving film is redemptive, cathartic and utterly riveting
