Saoirse Ronan and Paapa Essiedu’s new movie The Outrun has confirmed a UK release date for later this year.
The movie, which premiered earlier this year to critical acclaim, focuses on the themes of addiction and survival, and is based on the memoir by Amy Liptrot.
It has now been confirmed that The Outrun will debut in UK and Irish cinemas on Friday, September 27 this year.
The film follows 29-year-old Rona (Ronan) as she returns home to the Orkney Islands after a decade away, and “sober but lonely, she tries to suppress her memory of the events which set her on this journey of recovery”.
“Slowly the beauty and lore of the land enters her inner world and – one day at a time – Rona finds hope and strength in herself among the heavy gales and the bracingly cold sea,” the synopsis adds.
As well as Ronan and I May Destroy You‘s Paapa Essiedu, the movie also stars Game of Thrones‘ Stephen Dillane and Slow Horses‘ Saskia Reeves, with Nora Fingscheidt directing.
