The Outrun

Event information

Following a life of partying and hard drinking, Rona (Saoirse Ronan) attempts to come to terms with her troubled past. After rehab, and at the tail end of her troubled 20s, she returns to the wild beauty of Scotland’s Orkney Islands where she grew up. The chastened former party animal gets a volunteer post with the RSPB on the island, trying to protect corncrake habitats. The film uses montage to striking effect, and Orkney is not sentimentalised, the feeling of being all alone in a wind-lashed cottage is fervently conveyed. The always-reliable Ronan is outstanding as she conveys Rona’s pain in this much-acclaimed and involving, addiction-recovery drama.
