Lead actor Saoirse Ronan outdoes herself in this delicate and lived-in drama, based on the raw memoir of the same name by cinematographer Amy Liptrot and directed by Nora Fingscheidt (System Crasher).

The Outrun is the candid film adaptation of the British bestseller of the same name, with an Oscar-worthy lead role by Saoirse Ronan (Lady Bird, Little Women). When Rona (Ronan) leaves the hustle and bustle of London behind and returns to the breathtaking nature of Scotland's Orkney Islands, she finds herself little by little. 29-year-old Rona has been living in London for 10 years, where busy city life has swallowed her up.

Alcohol and drugs take over, until she decides to put her physical and mental health first. To overcome her addictions once and for all, she returns to the Orkney Islands where she grew up. The Outrun is the new film by Nora Fingscheidt), who co-wrote the screenplay with Amy Liptrot (author of the memoir The Outrun). The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Festival and was selected for the Berlin Film Festival. 'Saoirse Ronan is remarkable in a sensitive recovery drama,' The Guardian.
