“I have a life that I have to get back to…” Studiocanal UK has debuted their trailer for The Outrun, which premiered at both the 2024 Sundance & Berlin Film Festivals earlier this year. This acclaimed film is based on Amy Liptrot’s bestselling memoir, telling the story of an alcoholic woman who returns to her homeland – the remote Orkney Islands located off the northern coast of Scotland at the very top of the UK. After living life on the edge in London, 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. Starring Saoirse Ronan as Rona in one of her best performances yet. The Outrun is a searingly honest drama about addiction, survival and the power of nature to restore life and renew hope, set in the wild northern Orkney islands. This is one of my favorite films of 2024 so far (here’s my full review), it’ll likely be on my Top 10 at the end of the year. It also stars Saskia Reeves, Stephen Dillane, Lauren Lyle, Izuka Hoyle, & Paapa Essiedu. This trailer does a fairly good job capturing the splendor of this wonderful film, which I will be recommending all year. // Continue Reading ›
