Is there a place on Earth remote enough for us to escape our own demons? Nora Fingscheidt’s The Outrun, adapted from Amy Liptrot’s memoirs, wrestles with what isolation does to the soul. It’s laid out as a series of reflections, as uncharted as the recovery journey of the young woman at its centre, Saoirse Ronan’s Rona. She’s returned to her home in Orkney after an alcohol addiction sends her London ambitions into a downward spiral. Nature holds people and communities in its embrace. It can throttle them, too.
