Claudia Puig 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. Nov 4, 2024 Full Review Richard Brody The 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. Oct 10, 2024 Full Review Bill Goodykoontz 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 Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Pete Vonder Haar 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 Nov 20, 2024 Full Review Filipe Freitas Always Good Movies At its core, The Outrun is a potent neo-realist drama—compassionate, intimate, and unflinchingly honest. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 19, 2024 Full Review Rene Sanchez Cine Sin Fronteras Saoirse Ronan delivers an outstanding performance in this gentle and sincere drama about addiction. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 3/4 Nov 14, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

PJ 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! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review theresa f The acting was intense and on point. The story was stirring Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/24 Full Review Gary G I like SR but this is an over played topic true or not. This one was nothing special. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 10/20/24 Full Review Mars 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review patrick p Kind of meandering and too obtuse Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Maryann M The acting was incredible especially Ronan. She was fantastic and deserves an Oscar. You understand the power of addiction and how it affects everyone nvolved. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
