Based on the best selling memoire by Amy Liptrot, The Outrun is a profoundly moving drama about addiction, recovery, and the healing power of nature. After a decade away, 29 year old Rona (Saoirse Ronan) returns home to the Orkney Islands, sober but lonely as she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery. Slowly, the mystical land enters her inner world and – one day at a time – Rona finds hope and strength among the heavy gales and bracingly cold sea. It is masterfully realized by Ronan in a career-best performance that is generating early awards buzz.
We usually meet at the Wellness centre parking lot around 3:10 PM, car pool to Orangeville and enjoy a meal in Montanas together after an early showing.
