Rona, fresh out of rehab, returns to the wild Orkney Islands after more than a decade away. As she reconnects with the dramatic landscape where she grew up, memories of her childhood merge with the more recent challenging events that have set her on the path to recovery.

Critics Consensus

Benefiting from Saoirse Ronan's deeply committed performance in the central role, The Outrun proves a moving portrait of addiction in spite of its somewhat shapeless narrative.

4.5/5

In its efforts to be lyrical, sometimes it feels like bad poetry... The storytelling style got in the way, but [Saoirse Ronan's] performance was fantastic.
