Saoirse Ronan’s bracing performance as a young alcoholic in recovery who returns home to the otherworldly Orkney islands of Scotland is the focal point of Nora Fingscheidt’s poignant adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s award-winning memoir. A brutally honest drama about addiction and recovery, strength and survival, mental health and the ability of the sea, the land and of people to restore life and renew hope.
Rona, fresh out of rehab, returns to the Orkney Islands; a place both wild and beautiful right off the Scottish coast. After more than a decade of living life on the edge in London, where she both found and lost love, Rona – now 30 – attempts to come to terms with her troubled past. As she reconnects with the dramatic landscape where she grew up, memories of her traumatic childhood merge with more recent challenging events that have set her on the path to recovery.THE OUTRUN showing at: October 16, 2:45 pm
