Recovery is a slog, and Ronan shows every note of it.

Saoirse Ronan soars in drama about navigating the waves of addiction.

Saoirse Ronan earths Amy Liptrot's redemption memoir.

...sensationally directed and performed.

Recovery is a slog, and Ronan shows every note of it.

Shot on location, the film captures the bleak beauty of Orkney, all iron-grey skies and jagged cliffs.

...I was the thing that felt suddenly plugged into a light socket: electrified.

...often feels surprising, continually morphing and growing, just like the character whose journey it compassionately trails.

...painful story easier to take with Saoirse Ronan at the center.

Saoirse Ronan is exceptional in this affecting drama about addiction and hope.

...Ronan, cast against the backdrop of the sublime, evocative Orkney Island landscapes, elevates the film to a moving tale of overcoming one's demons and learning to savor life as it comes.

Saoirse Ronan is a force of nature in poetic addiction drama.

...[Saoirse Ronan] bærer filmen med en nerve af autenticitet, man nærmest ikke kan mindes at have set før.

...det er umuligt ikke at blive langsomt besnæret af filmens drømmende og poetiske stil.

...en berättelse om beroende och motstånd.

...»The Outrun« er et væsentligt værk, og den vil komme til at betyde noget for nogle, der kæmper mod den sygdom, misbruget er.
