The Outrun

starring Saoirse Ronan. Has anybody seen it? What do you think? The theme is nothing new, lady with an Addiction issue has to hit rock bottom in order to rise up, but the movie did manage to capture beautiful images of the Orkney Islands.

I thought I would enjoy the movie more or at least get close to the character, but it somehow left me cold. Not least because some of the narration seemed a bit inauthentic to me. Was it paying homage to Terrence Malick, I’m not sure.

It reminded me a little of the play People Places and Things and the movie Rachel Getting Married, both of which I found superior in terms of storytelling.

Saoirse Ronan Is very good though and I’m excited to see what she does next…

Every critic says the same thing- the voiceover and back and forth in time detracts from the film and Saoirse's excellent performance. Other than that everyone seems to like it--

I am looking forward to this one
