THE OUTRUN (15) 118 mins Director: Nora Fingsheidt Starring: Saoirse Ronan, Pappa Essiedu, Synopsis: After a decade in London, 29-year-old Rona returns home to Scotland's otherworldly Orkney Islands. Sober yet isolated, sh struggles to shake off the shadows of a troubled childhood and the turbulence of her recent city life. However, as Orkney's wild landscapes and welcoming community begin to fill her inner world, Rona gradually contronts her past, embarking on a path of healing anf rediscovering hope for the future. Awards: Reviews: "The Outrun, at times, leans a little heavily on shots of Ronan trudging through empty fields. But the intelligence and craft of the film-making, the way Fingscheidt guides us along the emotional journey of the central character, is absorbing." **** OBSERVER "In every shot and every scene, mostly in closeup, Ronan carries the film with her unselfconsciously fierce and focused presence. " **** GUARDIAN "The Outrun’s true tether, however, is Ronan, and here she works to all her greatest strengths. The film wraps entirely around her, yet she’s far too honest an actor to ever play up to the audience’s expectations of a woman in crisis." **** INDEPENDENT
