A vivid and unflinching adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s wrenching personal memoir of addiction, powered by an extraordinary central performance from Saoirse Ronan.

Addicted to hedonism, drink and drugs, a young woman must wrestle with recovery in the remote islands of Orkney whilst reckoning with her complex family history.

Powered by a pounding soundtrack, a kinetic visual style and intricate narrative structure, this extraordinarily moving film is redemptive, cathartic and utterly riveting.

Text by Paul Ridd, Edinburgh International Film Festival.

The 6.00pm screening on Mon 30 Sept will be followed by an in-person Q&A with writer Amy Liptrot, hosted by academic activist, critical researcher, and outdoor enthusiast, Phil Scraton.

"Saoirse Ronan astounds as a young woman searching for grace in the face of addiction." Time Out
