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.

As an inward study of self-redemption, however, The Outrun has a defiant, angular power – and, in Ronan, the right actor to convey it.

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.

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.

The film is at its best when it doesn’t feel the need to over explain itself, confident in the evocative strength of its images.

The film avoids simple definition as comedy or tragedy, and concludes with moments of undeniable poetic elation.

Writer-Director Nora Fingscheidt ("System Crasher") has softened a harsh tale of alcoholism with beautiful scenery and tales of magical creatures. Saoirse Ronan turns in her second outstanding performance of 2024, matching her turn in "Blitz".

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.

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.
