The Outrun (15)
November 9th-10th
Director: Nora Fingscheidt
Cast: Saoirse Ronan, Saskia Reeves, Stephen Dillane
Running time: 1hr 58mins
After a decade away in London, 29-year-old Rona returns home to the Orkney Islands.
Sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery.
Slowly the mystical land enters her inner world and – one day at a time – Rona finds hope and strength in herself among the heavy
gales and the bracingly cold sea.
“Saoirse Ronan is outstanding in this painful, involving addiction-recovery drama, directed by Nora Fingscheidt and adapted by Fingscheidt and Amy Liptrot from Liptrot’s own 2017 memoir of the same title.” Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
