What to Know

Critics Consensus

Fatally undermined by dodgy accents and a questionable story, Wild Mountain Thyme is a baffling misfire for a talented filmmaker and impressive cast.

Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review 05/10/2021
Loud and obnoxious...quite astonishingly panned, and it's so bad that there's an outside possibility it might become a marginal cult classic. But honestly? I doubt it. Go to Full Review

Shanley has an Oscar and a Pulitzer (he wrote the sublime Moonstruck, and the stage and screen versions of Doubt). Here, that's easy to forget... Go to Full Review

Paddywhackery of the highest order is delivered in this execrable rom-com that's almost surreal in its unashamed awfulness. Go to Full Review

Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan's rural romance is cliched, earnest and all over the place. Go to Full Review

The script feels old-fashioned, offering contrasting results throughout the duration of the movie: sometimes it is adorable, sometimes reprehensible. Nevertheless, it offers warm moments filled with nostalgic longing for romantic epics. Go to Full Review

C.ris_balmy C @C.ris_balmy 4d A truly awful film! Love Emily Blunt but even she was awful! No wonder it free on YouTube. The only redeeming aspect was the gorgeous Irish landscapes and the weather, if you like rain. I tried to like it but alas no. See more L s @Li12345 4d what an incredible waste of time and talent. I really tried to get into the movie, which just kept getting worse and worse. How could something this bad get made? See more Tim J Sep 14 Well, I thought it was lovely! Yes, the stereotypes are heavy, but the dialogue is quite good. Emily Blunt is especially fantastic. The dance between the two characters in the penultimate scene is masterful—it reads like a stage play, and it’s quite marvelous. See more solid @JohnCinema Jun 25 Good movie, i liked it. Not an objectively good one, love or hate kind of thing. Charming and different from an average romcom See more Sarah S Mar 16 I thought it was charming. It had a warm and endearing quality. It balanced humour and heart and I thought the characters were very lovable and it had a lot of sincerity and was whimsical heartfelt. See more Travis G @Tggggggg Jan 16 Really? Really? No, but...really? See more Read all reviews
