Last night I was happy to see Saoirse Ronan's new film The Outrun at The Grove in Los Angeles, followed by a Q and A session with the star and producer herself. She proved to be a wonderfully talented star, as impressive in person as she is onscreen. She is poised and caring and is rightfully proud of her new film. The Outrun is a deeply affecting story of alcoholism and sobriety, and it hits hard, but is beautifully crafted. It's Ms. Ronan's first time as a producer, and she mentioned that she and her partner/husband Jack Lowden want to bring more films and series to the screen about Irish and Scottish stories to highlight their beloved countries. The Outrun opens in theaters tomorrow, Oct. 4, 2024.
