Wild Rose – 7PM

“Wild Rose is so much fun that you only half notice its left-turn from the star-is-born setup to something altogether richer and more emotionally satisfying.” – Jamie Dunn, The Skinny

“A happy-sad drama of star struck fever that lifts you up and sweeps you along, touching you down in a puddle of well-earned tears.” – Owen Gleiberman, Variety

“A beautiful story told with a huge amount of tenderness and love for its unconventional heroine. Jessie Buckley is one of the brightest stars in our sky right now.” – Linda Marric, HeyUGuys

“Entirely delightful, fresh as a Scottish summer evening.” – Leslie Felperin, Hollywood Reporter

Young single mother Rose-Lynn Harlan (former musical reality talent show contestant Jessie Buckley, who came in second on the BBC show I’d Do Anything), 23, lives in Glasgow, but dreams of becoming a country star in Nashville.

After spending a year in prison on drug-related offences, Rose-Lynn goes home to her mother (Julie Walters), who has been taking care of Rose-Lynn’s two young children. Rose-Lynn is indifferent to her kids, seeing them as an impediment on her road to stardom.

Once a singer at a local country music club, Rose-Lynn now has a strict parole curfew and an ankle monitor, which precludes her from returning to the stage. Instead, she finds a job as a housekeeper for an English woman, Susannah (Sophie Okonedo), during the day. When Susannah and her children hear Rose-Lynn singing while working, they become fans and want to help her reach her dreams.
