Rona: I can't be happy sober

. One With the Windcomposed by John Gürtler and Jan Miserre.

She's studying/was studying Biology at university in London

The Outrun is based on a book by Amy Liptrot and is a first hand account of her experiences with alcoholism.This film adaptation is produced by and starring Saoirse Ronan, with Nora Fingscheidt of System Crashers fame in the directors chair.What I took the film to ultimately be about is being lost in your 20's, making mistakes and then rediscovering yourself. The lead character Rona is in her late 20's and originally is from The Orkney's a small set of islands north of Scotland.

At times I was unsure what was happening in the past and what was happening in the present

It's at university where it becomes apparent that she has a problem with alcohol.I find human psychology fascinating but I know for a fact that if I was to make a film about addiction it would be no doubt soaked in melodrama. This film feels real and whilst it has emotional scenes it never goes over that line into trying to force an emotional response out of its audience.It instead chooses to base itself in spirituality and at the start it seemed like it was going to be more of a poem with images rather than a narrative as such.It does however settle into being more narratively driven but we do get some flashbacks that at times I felt were a bit choppy.

It managed to both provide a satisfactory 'happy' ending, whilst also leaving you with the feeling that Rona's journey with alcohol isn't complete and perhaps never will beWho says you can't go home?

Perhaps this was intentional to try and make you feel Rona's inner struggle but it didn't always work for me.That is however a minor gripe as I was furthermore impressed by the films ending. https://egy-tronix.com/windows-10-enterprise-ltsc-build-x86-lite-2019-3287-en-us-torrent/
