Netflix has just added one of 2024’s most powerful drama films

A new Saoirse Ronan movie has just been added to Netflix

Based on the 2016 memoir of the same name by Amy Liptrot, the movie is told in non-linear order and follows a young woman from Scotland named Rona (played by Ronan) and her experiences with and her recovery from alcoholism.

The plot synopsis reads: "Rona, fresh out of rehab, returns to the wild Orkney Islands after more than a decade away.

"As she reconnects with the dramatic landscape where she grew up, memories of her childhood merge with the more recent challenging events that have set her on the path to recovery."

Holding an 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes, The Outrun has earned praise for its authentic depiction of addiction, its lyrical direction by Nora Fingscheidt (The Unforgivable), and Ronan's powerful central turn - for which she recently won an IFTA Best Actress Award.
