The Outrun- Saorise Ronan Makes A Sprint For The Best Actress Race
Quick Take: This was provided for my consideration, but without audio description. With Saorise Ronan on the edge of the Oscar conversation, i dove in. This film is basically an addiction drama, with Ronan’s character going through the wringer, and dealing with her parents, as well as a potential love life, and things like rehab. It isn’t anything we haven’t seen before, but it is based on a memoir. Ronan is good, but not one of my favorite performances of the year, nor do I think she eclipsed her previous work. However, it isn’t dialog driven, and there were plenty of spots I needed audio description. So, for now, I would say it is unwatchable without audio description, but I’m leaning slightly positive in general. I don’t think it is the best of the year, but it is far from being mediocre or even bad. for more, check out the video. To really appreciate Saorise Ronan, rewatch Brooklyn or Hanna.
