Saoirse Ronan, already a four-time Oscar nominee, has given another lauded performance with her latest movie, The Outrun, which movie fans are getting the chance to see for themselves now. But where can you watch The Outrun? Let us help you with that.

The Outrun is based on the memoir by Amy Liptrot about her journey to recover from alcoholism. The movie originally debuted at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival with a couple of other stops at major international film festivals along the way, earning some strong word-of-mouth, particularly for Ronan’s performance. That includes WTW's official The Outrun review.
