The Outrun (film)

Event information

Based on journalist Amy Liptrop’s memoir of the same title, THE OUTRUN follows the story of 29-year-old, Rona (played by Saoirse Ronan), and her journey through addiction and into sobriety in the beautiful but remote settings of the Orkney Islands.

The film time-travels between the Orkneys and London – where Rona’s flashbacks of her former party lifestyle are intertwined with the solitude of her new recovery journey.
Beautiful written, filmed and performed, this film will take you on a powerful journey

“The Oscar nominee (Saoirse Ronan) gives one of her greatest performances as a young woman grappling with addiction in a moving and delicate adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s memoir” **** Sundance Film Festival

Rated 15 | Screened in English with English subtitles | Running Time 118 min
