Wild Rose review
Rose isn't quite as infectious as the film seems to think she is. She's a bit annoying and frustrating, wildly irresponsible and unmotherly, stupid and ungrateful, selfish and spiky. She doesn't do what's expected of her - and that's exactly what makes her so intriguing and inspiring.

After her confident showing in Beast, it only seemed a matter of time before we saw Jessie Buckley in a star-making role - and Wild Rose might just be the film to do it for her.
Bouquets & Brickbats, 20th March 2019Glasgow Film Festival review: Wild Rose
Wild Rose plays very much like a rough blueprint for a future West End musical, the sort of jukebox crowd-pleaser that panders to the lowest-common denominator with trite, talent-show-ready homilies about following your dreams and thinly sketched supporting characters who have no interior lives of their own.
