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.

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. 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 Adam Graham Detroit News "The Outrun" is [Ronan's] symphony, and she conducts it with an unwaveringly steady hand, right down to the very last note. Rated: B Oct 7, 2024 Full Review Joe Friar Fort Worth Report The cinematography is at times breathtaking. Nora Fingscheidt does a great job of putting the audience in Rona’s headspace. Saoirse Ronan is sensational as she battles her inner demons. Authentic. Rated: 4/4 Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) The flights of fancy and Rona’s insightful voiceover musings guide viewers through an immersive, mesmerizing experience. Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) Told through a series of flashbacks, the film aims to evoke Rona’s fractured emotional state, but never settles on a rhythm. Oct 11, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

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 A Superb acting and great memoir. Saorise is everything! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review James J. O 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Kelly It was an intense movie...could be triggering for someone newly sober. The videography angles and scenery were incredible! The way it bounced back and forth kind of confused the timeline of her journey, though. Definitely worth a watch, and definitely worthy of the big screen with the music and stunning ocean views. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review TH Very good performance from the main actress whose name I don't know how to spell. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
