Saoirse Ronan's "beautiful" new film The Outrun, released in cinemas last autumn, is now streaming on Netflix UK and Ireland.
Based on Amy Liptrot's autobiographical book of the same name, the film follows a woman who returns to her family in Scotland after leaving rehab for alcohol addiction. Interestingly, a lot of its events are told in a non-linear fashion.
Alongside Lady Bird and Little Women actor Ronan, the film also stars I May Destroy You's Paapa Essiedu, Big Boys' Izuka Hoyle, and Game of Thrones' Stephen Dillane, among others.

In Digital Spy's review of The Outrun, we gave the film three stars out of five, and called it "an irregular but beautiful and poetic movie" that tries to do a lot of things, and while all of them aren't successful, Ronan's portrayal of main character Rona holds it all together.
"Even if the story might go a bit stale at times, the visual narrative always feels exciting as it blends ideas, textures and formats, from archive images to animation," our reviews reads.

"That, along with Saoirse Ronan's stunning performance, make this movie a notable achievement that, like Rona, processes the world in her own unique, lyrical way."

The film also marked Ronan's debut as a producer, and she exclusively told us that it was "exactly what [she] needed" at this point in her career.
"It was a really excellent way to get out of your own head and think about the bigger picture, and also for me to be able to put my energy actively into the people that I was working with," she added.
The Outrun is streaming now on Netflix UK and Ireland.
