‘The Outrun’ Review: Saoirse Ronan Plays an Alcoholic with Authenticity in a Recovery Movie That’s Too Sodden to Catch Fire
“The Outrun” is competent and even stylishly made, yet I have to confess: I found it overwhelmingly drab. Everything that happens feels specific (at least visually), but also a tad generic. The movie leaps around in time, which is all good, yet it never acquires a true forward momentum as a narrative. Our empathy, and curiosity, keep crashing up against the rocky shoals of enervation.
