“…’Rona’, a woman out of rehab for alcoholism travels to the Orkney Islands. The personal trip becomes one of self-discovery as she grapples with her addiction. 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.

Saoirse Ronan is taking on one of her most intense roles yet.
After playing a haunting child with sociopathic tendencies in “Atonement,” the now-grownup A-lister leads Sundance breakout-indie “The Outrun,” based on Amy Liptrot’s bestselling memoir.
Ronan stars as Rona (a bit confusing), a young woman recovering from alcoholism. Rona returns to her remote home in the Orkney Islands after losing herself in London; there, she reconnects with her past, her parents, and the atmospheric isolation of the islands on which she grew up.
Nora Fingscheidt directs the highly-anticipated feature, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. IndieWire critic David Ehrlich tweeted on Thursday, “So weird that this very good Saoirse Ronan drama still doesn’t have U.S. distribution! Not the easiest sell in the world, but she’s an absolute force in it.”
Ehrlich wrote in the review that Ronan is “the film’s most dizzying and mesmeric effect,...

Although peculiarly still without U.S. distribution some five months after its Sundance premiere, Nora Fingscheidt’s addiction drama The Outrun, starring Saoirse Ronan, will arrive in the UK this September. Ahead of the release, the first trailer has now arrived.
Here’s the synopsis: “Saoirse Ronan stars as Rona, who, 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.”

Saoirse Ronan's partner Jack Lowden recommended her latest movie role to her.Jack, 33, had read Amy Liptrot’s book 'The Outrun' and recommended it to Saoirse, 29, during the Covid 19 lockdown, explaining he thought it would be a perfect role for her.Saoirse - who stars in and produced the movie - told The Hollywood Reporter: "It was Jack Lowden, who produced as well, who introduced it to me. He’s a very proud Scot and he had spent a bit of time up in the Orkney Islands. Whenever he goes to a new place, he tries to read a book by a writer from that place if he can. So, he had already fallen in love with The Outrun, and when we were in lockdown — going through books because we had all the time in the world — he recommended I read it. "He said,'“This...

While filming The Outrun, Saoirse Ronan delivered lambs, swam with seals and communed with her fair share of flora and fauna.
The four-time Oscar nominee plays Rona, a young woman who leaves London and returns to her small hometown on Scotland’s Orkney Islands as she charts her course to sobriety while experiencing all the harsh realities and natural wonders that a tiny, wind-swept isle off the coast of Scotland has to offer.
The film, directed by German helmer Nora Fingscheidt (System Crasher) and based on the Amy Liptrot novel of the same name, will screen in Berlin following its premiere at Sundance, where it garnered rave reviews (THR’s David Rooney observed that Ronan “puts herself through the physical and emotional wringer”). Ahead of the film’s Berlin bow, Ronan talked to THR about why she connected with Liptrot’s book, the advantages of also producing the project and...

“Shtisel” star Ayelet Zurer is set to lead a new Israeli drama titled “The Best Worst Thing.”
In the new show Zurer plays Dr Amalia Levi, a breast cancer specialist who finds a suspicious lump in her chest. As she begins her own breast cancer journey, this time as a patient, she is unexpectedly joined by Micha Hadad (Amos Tamam), a male politician who has also just been diagnosed.
“As they embark on a shared treatment journey together, fuelled by hope and fear, they discover they have more in common than a disease,” reads the logline. “Under the shadow of a ticking clock, Amalia and Micha discover that the worst thing that could possibly happen to them is also the best thing that has ever happened to them.”
The eight-part series, which will premiere on Feb. 19 in Israel on local network Keshet 12, was created by Rona Tamir, Tal Granit, and Sharon Maymon.

“The Outrun,” the story of a 29-year-old Scottish woman in the throes of, and recovery from (though not necessarily in that order), an increasingly desperate alcoholism, is a drama with a lot of things going for it. It stars Saoirse Ronan, a great actor who, no one will be surprised to hear, lives inside this role as if she’d occupied it her whole life. The film is based on Amy Liptrot’s 2017 addiction memoir (the heroine is now named Rona), and the German director Nora Fingscheidt (“System Crasher”) adapts it in a somber, meditative, structurally free-form way that’s all about broken surfaces and moods of fragmentation and despair (and mutating dyed hair).
Much of the movie is set on the Orkney Islands, a remote archipelago located in the Northern Isles of Scotland and steeped in folklore. This gorgeously severe landscape — the black rocks, the waves, the end-of-the-earth barrenness...

I saved the best for last and it was entirely worth the wait. My very last in-person screening (after 30 other films) at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival ended up being my favorite film of the entire festival. It may even end up on my Top 10 at the end of the year. The Outrun is the latest film from talented German filmmaker Nora Fingscheidt, best known for her German film System Crasher from 2019. This time she's adapting a book from Scottish writer Amy Liptrot, telling a story about a young woman in Scotland trying to figure out her chaotic life. It's everything great cinema is about - all of the elements of filmmaking integrated perfectly together to bring us into the life of Rona as she returns to the Orkney Islands to calm herself and work on her addiction to alcohol. It's always hard to tell before watching a film whether it...

The Outrun is a film that feels very personal and that is because it actually is. Adapted from the best-selling memoir of the same name by Amy Liptrot, the film is the arduous journey of a 29-year-old woman suffering from alcoholism to the determination and courage she had to conjure to heal herself over time. Saoirse Ronan has given a performance that is the talk of Sundance and rightfully so. She plays the part of a recovering alcohol addict who is on the verge of self-destruction to perfection. Over her career, she has been part of many critically acclaimed films and gave critically acclaimed performances but her acting in The Outrun is way above the rest. She does not hold back and lets herself be free just like her character Rona in the film. The sweeping landscapes of Scotland provide an amazing backdrop for her character and when you match that with some stunning cinematography,...
