The Outrun (15)

4th December 2024 2:00pm (Doors open at 1:00 pm)

Kirkgate Centre

Extensively covered in the media due to its theme of alcohol addiction and as an early Awards contender due to the performance of Saorise Ronan “mesmorising” according to the Guardian.

After living life on the edge in London and fresh out of rehab, Rona attempts to come to terms with her troubled past. She returns to the wild beauty of Scotland's Orkney Islands – where she grew up – hoping to heal. Adapted from the bestselling memoir by Amy Liptrot.

‘The Outrun has a narrative that is told in non-chronological fragments, but collectively, the story is an impactful portrait of alcohol addiction and recovery. Saoirse Ronan gives a devastatingly realistic performance.’ Carla Hay- Culture Mix
