Just saw an amazing movie folks here might enjoy

It's call "The Outrun" starring Saoirse Ronan. She's an alcoholic in recovery. She's from a small island off the coast of Scotland who moves to London where she starts to hit the bottle. She finally starts going to meetings and ends up on another remote island while recovering. Very powerful film and an amazing performance by Ms. Ronan. It's streaming on Netflix.

Set in the Shetlands, I think. Saoirse is a great actor. I'll have to check it out.

It so hard to film on the Orkneys, or is it just that it's raining most of the time. I'm just kidding, I'm sure they're grand. Love to go someday.
