Saoirse Ronan stuns as a shattered alcoholic trying to rebuild her life on a remote Scottish island in The Outrun, based on the bestselling 2016 memoir by journalist Amy Liptrot. She adapts her own harrowing journey of addiction with German director Nora Fingscheidt’s impressive visuals and unnerving sound design. The film leaps back and forth in time, chronicling a disturbing descent to rock bottom and the heartbreaking climb to sobriety. The narrative has emotional heft, but does stray overly imaginative with its unrelenting bells and whistles production design.
