Saoirse Ronan shines in ‘The Outrun,’ a poignant film adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s memoir, directed by Nora Fingscheidt.
Ronan plays Rona, a young woman battling alcoholism who returns to her native Orkney Islands after rehab.
The film, set against the stark, windswept Scottish archipelago, explores her struggle for redemption amid isolation and nature’s raw beauty.
Critics praise Ronan’s raw, transformative performance, with The Guardian calling it ‘a career-defining role.’ Co-stars include Paapa Essiedu as her love interest and Stephen Dillane as her father.
Shot on location, the film captures Orkney’s rugged landscapes, blending myth and reality as Rona confronts her past.
Premiering at Sundance 2025, it’s tipped for Oscar buzz.
Ronan, also a producer, emphasized the story’s universal appeal: 'Addiction touches so many, and this is about finding yourself again.' The film’s release aligns with growing discussions on mental health and recovery, resonating with audiences globally.
UK cinemas screen it from October 10, 2025.
