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.

Audience Says

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

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.

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

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

An unfocused cluster of fragmented images that left me feeling as a viewer feeling disconnected and dissociative rather than invested in the character and her journey.

The non-linear structure means seeing Rona at rock bottom, but I found the recovery process far more interesting.

I like SR but this is an over played topic true or not. This one was nothing special.

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.

Heavy on the imagery light on the storyline. Great acting by Saoirse Ronan, but the material was heavy and relentless, and the disjointed timeline made it hard to follow the progression of events.
