Saoirse Ronan The new film is about a woman who comes straight from rehab in her hometown, Scotland’s Orkney Islands The outrunnow in the cinema.

Ronan told ABC Audio that her character Rona stayed with her long after filming the film.

“I think just the experience of making the film is one that I will never forget. It gave me so much life experience,” Ronan said. “It was a real gift of a project.”

She expressed that The outrun has turned the usual addiction story on its head.

“This is based on a person’s real life and there are so many young women affected by addiction. “But I think unfortunately it’s kind of tragic that we’ve become a little desensitized when it comes to seeing male addicts and particularly male alcoholics on screen and in the media,” Ronan said.

“It’s kind of become the norm in a really sad way,” she continued. “To take that addiction, to take that mental illness and give it a form that we don’t see as often and to wake us up a little bit as an audience, I think that made the film more powerful.”

Ronan noted that addiction makes no distinction between young people, older people, people of any gender, socioeconomic background or race.

“We wanted to make this story accessible to everyone to reflect the reality of this particular issue that affects so many different types of people,” Ronan said.
