Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan (Little Women) gives a remarkable performance as a young woman grappling with addiction in Nora Fingscheidt’s (System Crasher) The Outrun, based on the bestselling memoir by Amy Liptrot.

Fresh out of rehab, Rona (Ronan) returns home to the wild and beautiful Orkney Islands. After over a decade in London, where she both found and lost love, and where her life was derailed by alcoholism, Rona, now 30, attempts for the first time to reconcile with her traumatic past amidst the majestic landscape of her youth, surrounded by ferocious gales and a stormy sea.

Both visceral and delicate, The Outrun is a moving and complex portrait of a troubled mind seeking to heal.

“The Oscar nominee gives one of her greatest performances” ★★★★ The Guardian
