The Outrun

What to Know

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.

The Outrun | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 The Outrun | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 The Outrun | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 The Outrun | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip The Outrun is a melancholic affair, but it’s the melancholy of sad poems and lonely beaches. Oct 26, 2024 Full Review The Outrun | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Jared Rasic Metro Times (Detroit, MI) It’s impossible to overstate the gorgeous balance struck between Ronan’s performance, Nora Fingscheidt’s assured, innovative direction, Yunus Roy Imer’s textured and muscular cinematography, and Stephan Bechinger’s expertly calibrated editing. Rated: A Oct 22, 2024 Full Review The Outrun | Rotten Tomatoes (6) John Lui The Straits Times (Singapore) Not that anybody needs reminding, but Ronan proves herself the finest actress of her generation.

Gary G I like SR but this is an over played topic true or not. This one was nothing special. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • 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 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review patrick p Kind of meandering and too obtuse Rated 2/5 Stars • 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 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review A Superb acting and great memoir. Saorise is everything! Rated 5/5 Stars • 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 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
