Not bad but dangerously close to formula and annoyingly sweet at times. Still Jessie Buckleys charms shines through

Loved this film. Heart-warming and entertaining. Great cast too.

It may not be the most original story ever told; but every time I find this movie while channel surfing, I put the remote down, no matter what point in the movie it. The soundtrack is fantastic; and I am now a Jessie Buckley fan. She sounds great; and carries the movie just fine. Though it's not the most original, it's not the most stereotypical, either. Sometimes you find your dreams where you least expect it. It will continue to be a surfing stopper for me for a very long time.

Buckly is simply magnificent. That's all you need to know!

Great performances trapped by a mediocre and predictable screenplay.

Wonderful film on the travails of actually being a singer with the want, the passion and the push to be who you were meant to be. The music is heart-felt and for good reason. "She might be fictional, but Rose-Lynn's musical career has continued since production wrapped in 2017. In early 2018, Buckley and Taylor collaborated on writing several songs that examine Rose-Lynn's state of mind beyond the script."

I thought it was an interesting story that showed the hardships of raising a family while trying to pursue her dreams of a singing career in Nashville while living in Scotland. It always shows us we need to appreciate what we have especially when it comes to family. Also, really enjoyed the singing talents of Jessie Buckley and how she applied them to her country music character, great job

This is a part drama, part musical film. I enjoyed the music and the performances in this film - the main character is played very well by Jessie Buckley and the Glaswegian accents seemed not bad. I also enjoyed Julie Walters as Rose's mother, Marion. This film has a nice uplifting element/aspect to it but it doesn't sugar coat the situation being depicted either. Rose clearly has her issues and not everything goes her way but Rose is quite a likeable person, so I had my hopes up for a decent outcome. I definitely had respect for her, for what she was trying to do. Buckleys vocal performances are also admirable - she has a great voice! I believe she performs all the songs and you can't not respect that. There is a soulfulness in the songs she sings, definitely. I liked the instances of sharp wit, which are present at times. While there are cliches at play, a bit of cheese perhaps, this is very much a likeable film that I'd recommend.

The story is nothing new, but is extremely well-executed and is filled with a wonderful soundtrack, but the shinest and brightest star that sparkles the movie is the leading performance of Jessie Buckley. In every single scene that she appears, we can see a real person, a human being who can learn from her mistakes, but still stubborn and with perseverance to make her dreams come true. Her alone makes this movie watchable, but everything here is charming and very recommended to watch.

I added this movie to my watch-list after seeing Jessie Buckley in I'm Thinking of Ending Things. Unlike that film where she splits the lead with Jesse Plemmons (and in Judy, the only other thing I've seen her in, where she plays a supporting role) in Wild Rose Buckley is the only focus, and she excels in it as Rose-Lynn Harlan, an ex-con with big dreams (and little money) of making it in country music. Rose-Lynn has a laser-focus of not just making it in Nashville, but making it to Nashville, as she is Scottish and lives in Glasgow — it doesn't matter if Rose-Lynn is "American at heart". Buckley is charismatic, unpredictable, and someone you harbor sympathy and antipathy for simultaneously. The film also does a little role-reversal on the "white savior" trope, putting Susannah (Sophie Okonedo), a wealthy Black-British woman in the position of benevolent elite, providing poor and provincial Rose-Lynn with money and opportunity through her connections. The film's plot was set up to follow a predictable trajectory, and I was pleasantly surprised it veered off course — an "expectations vs. reality" meme is there if someone wants to make it. The plot was well-paced and culminated into a great ending. I recommend Wild Rose for anyone — especially if you want to see more Buckley, who seems destined for superstardom — but if you enjoy country music, this is a must-watch.

The main character is so annoying, everything is given to her and she does nothing to achive her dream. Does she really want to succed?

Great performances but the Nashville part of the story, and a couple of other scenes, didn't quite gel with the character. Worth a watch and listen though.

Loved it! Jessie Buckley is an amazing multitalented artist. So glad to have discovered her with her phenomenal role in The Lost Daughter, which led me to watch this film. Thoroughly enjoyed her performance and the whole film. Great to see Julie Walters again. The ending had me in tears.

Brilliant performances by Jesse Buckley and the main cast. It's a a diamond in the rough story that has the feeling of home and love but also the musical charms of any great musical but most of all a gold ending we all search for. Well worth the watch! 4.5

Well I liked it! A refreshing touch of kitchen sink drama which may sound contradictory but some gritty reality mixed with a happy ending that's not a Hollywood one, or a Nashville one for that matter, is what makes this film so appealing. It's a twist on the ole Star is Born genre we have seen a million times except this Rose's star rises but not to such lofty, heady heights and she still has to reconcile herself to the consequences of past actions and choices before she can really move forward the way she so desperately wants to. In the end her childish fantasy is transformed to more realizable dreams planted firmly in her own reality. And Jessie Buckley is awesome!

A charming, funny, kind-hearted story of a young single mother, fresh out of prison trying to make her way as a mother and a country singer. Jessie Buckley has a sensational voice and uses it to great effect here, and Judy Walters as her mother is outstanding. If it's formulaic, then it's only so in the right ways, and the ending does try to do something slightly different whilst still leaving us with the emotional uplift the story needs.

Absolutely brilliant. Lucky for Jessie Buckley that she did not get the part as Nancy in Oliver, but she would have made the big time anyway. So talented.

(Español / English) La vocación frente a la realidad social Extracto: Conmovedora película sobre una joven madre soltera de clase trabajadora de Glasgow que desea realizarse como cantante de música country, con brillantes actuaciones de Jessie Buckley (quien canta extraordinariamente bien y transmite en forma admirable la rebeldía, el dolor y las ilusiones de su personaje) y Julie Walters como su pragmática madre y presenta algunos puntos de contacto con el biopic Gilda: no me arrepiento de este amor de Lorena Muñoz. Afortunadamente, el filme mantiene una coherencia fiel a la tradición del realismo social del cine británico. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… Reseña: Rose-Lynn Harlan (Jessie Buckley), luego de pasar un año en prisión, vuelve a su casa en los suburbios de Glasgow, con tobillera, para reencontrarse con su madre Marion (Julie Walters) y sus dos hijos pequeños. Rose canta música country y su sueño es ir a Nashville para comenzar una carrera como cantante. Rose, de clase media trabajadora, tuvo que asumir ser madre soltera desde muy joven y ejercer su vocación en un bar de música country, pero no está dispuesta a renunciar a sus proyectos. La vida le pasó por encima sin darle tiempo de madurar, o exigiéndoselo prematuramente, como les sucede a los pobres. ¿Por dónde pasará su proceso de maduración y realización? ¿Cómo conciliarlos con una personalidad impulsiva y en algún punto egocéntrica? El conflicto entre asumir las responsabilidades de su maternidad y llevar adelante su vocación artística, en el marco del enfrentamiento con su propia madre trabajadora (madre sustituta de sus hijos) está notablemente desarrollado y descripto de una manera conmovedora ¿qué sería lo justo para ella? ¿cuál será "su propia canción"? Hay en esta película de Tom Harper elementos del cine social de Ken Loach y Mike Leigh, pero nunca explícitos: son las situaciones las que hablan por sí mismas. También posee algo de cuento de hadas, con madrina incluida. Pero la película se aparta claramente del camino que habría tomado de tratarse de una película yanqui y mantiene su coherencia ideológica. El filme tiene varios puntos de contacto con la biopic Gilda: no me arrepiento de este amor de Lorena Muñoz. Jessie Buckley (la protagonista de Pienso en el final / I'm thinking of ending things) posee un carisma arrasador y canta extraordinariamente bien, transmitiendo en forma admirable la rebeldía, el dolor y las ilusiones de su personaje. (su vocación por la música country no es una anomalía, ya que el género es muy popular en Escocia). Julie Walters, por su parte, hace una composición extraordinaria de su sufrida, digna y pragmática madre. ………………………………………………………………………………………. (Spanish / English) The vocation in the face of social reality Abstract: Heartwarming film about a young working-class single mother from Glasgow who wishes to fulfill herself as a country music singer, with brilliant performances by Jessie Buckley (who sings extraordinarily well and admirably conveys her character's rebellion, pain and illusions) and Julie Walters as her pragmatic mother and the film and presents some points of contact with the biopic I'm Gilda of Lorena Muñoz Fortunately, the film remains faithful to the tradition of social realism in British cinema. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… Review: Rose-Lynn Harlan (Jessie Buckley), after spending a year in prison, returns to her house in the suburbs of Glasgow, with an anklet, to be reunited with her mother Marion (Julie Walters) and hers two children small of her. Rose sings country music and her dream is to go to Nashville to start a singing career. Rose, a working middle class, had to assume being a single mother from a young age and exercising her vocation in a country music bar, but she is not willing to give up on her projects. Her life passed over her without giving her time to mature, or demanding it prematurely, as happens to the poor. Where will the process of maturation and realization go through? How to reconcile them with an impulsive personality and at some point egocentric? The conflict between assuming the responsibilities of her motherhood and carrying out her artistic vocation, within the framework of the confrontation with her own working mother (surrogate mother of her children) is remarkably developed and described in a moving way. would it be fair for her? What will "his own song of hers" be? There are in this Tom Harper film elements of the social cinema of Ken Loach and Mike Leigh, but never explicit: it is the situations that speak for themselves. It also has something of a fairy tale, with a godmother included. But the film clearly deviates from the path it would have taken if it were a Yankee film and maintains its ideological coherence. The film has several points of contact with the biopic I'm Gilda of Lorena Muñoz. Jessie Buckley (the protagonist of I'm thinking of ending things) has an overwhelming charisma and sings extraordinarily well, admirably conveying the rebellion, pain and illusions of her character. (Her calling for country music is not an anomaly, as the genre is very popular in Scotland.) Julie Walters, for her part, makes an extraordinary composition of her long-suffering and pragmatic mother. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

A good film can be a lot of things; It can make you cry, It can make you laugh, It can make your dream, It can make you stand. It can make you sad and make you dry; It can take your heart full of lies. But at the end of the day, A good film makes you write this kind of shit about it, so more people find it, and more people watch it. Maybe I watched Wild Rose at the right moment and in the right place, or maybe my Platonic love for seeing Jessie Buckley's Oscar makes me too soft for her films. But I don't think it's the latter, Because God, I hate every single second of that BS new movie she made with Charlie Kaufman. So Yeah, Wild Rose is a good film. (Some people may consider some of these words, "Spoiler." They're certainly not. But hell, It's your warning). Between all these cinematic bullshits that we love and make us suffer more (and dream more at the same time, if you will), Films like Wild Rose is the "FUCK IT" that we need. You Know? Like, No. It's not like that; success is not like putting everything behind. Success is not a dream story of flying free out of every barrier. Life is serious, challenging, and most of the time, so fucking hard. And that "SUCCESS" comes from embracing every single person/thing/whatever you have in your life. At the end of the day, It's a good film. I'm happy that I watched it, and I hope all of these words make one more person want to watch it. Thanks, Tom Harper, God bless you, Rose-Lynn Harlan, and oh you Queen of Memphis, GO ROBB THAT BANK OF LIFE. Whoa!

Wild Rose is a cheap imitation of "A Star is Born", but with a predictable direction, worse performances and boring narrative. I would rather had watched the Lady Gaga movie again, than this one.
