“The Outrun” had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it received high praise for Saoirse Ronan’s performance as a young woman recently out of rehab for alcoholism who returns home to the Orkney Islands in Scotland. Directed by Nora Fingscheidt from a screenplay she co-wrote with Amy Liptrot, the independent film has received significant attention for Ronan’s emotionally raw performance, which has already garnered her nominations from the Gotham and British Independent Film Awards for Best Lead Performance. Ronan was kind enough to spend a few minutes speaking with us about her work as a star and producer on the film, which you can listen to or watch below. Please be sure to check out the film from Sony Pictures Classics, which is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at the 97th Academy Awards, including Best Actress. Thank you and enjoy!
