The year’s first bona fide Oscar contender well, for 2025 is Saoirse Ronan as a tortured alcoholic who seeks refuge in nature in “The Outrun.” The actress is gutsy and raw, and doesn’t overplay a single second like so many accolade-hungry actors in addiction movies do. Director Nora Fingscheidt’s tough drama, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, is based on Amy Liptrot’s memoir of the same name and serves up a meaty part for Ronan, who is at her best playing characters at a crossroads.
