Critics Consensus

Benefiting from Saoirse Ronan's deeply committed performance in the central role, The Outrun proves a moving portrait of addiction in spite of its somewhat shapeless narrative.

The power of Ronan’s performance perpetuates The Outrun as a vital portrait of addiction.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

In its efforts to be lyrical, sometimes it feels like bad poetry... The storytelling style got in the way, but [Saoirse Ronan's] performance was fantastic.

Richard Brody

New Yorker

The movie tells an admirable and moving story about a woman coming through her troubles, but it conveys no sense of creative or emotional risk.

Arizona Republic

It’s not always easy to watch, and it’s certainly not a lot of fun. But it is impressive, and that’s what carries it.

Rated: 4/5

Houston Press

Much of The Outrun is boilerplate recovery flick, and the ending — which invokes Rona's comments about feeling like she can control the weather — is a bit pat. It's really the unique setting and another powerhouse performance by Ronan that elevate it.

Rated: 3/5

Always Good Movies

At its core, The Outrun is a potent neo-realist drama—compassionate, intimate, and unflinchingly honest.

Rated: 3.5/5

Great nature film-ography amazing geography well shared. Good story and primary character: very relatable root cause to issues, stumbles, and finding a new strength and new direction. Worthwhile to see on a BIG Screen!

This was very ok for me. Saoirse Ronan had a really good performance, but thats pretty typical. It was just a bit slow, a bit boring, but not bad, just a little uninteresting.
