The film itself makes for a marvelous evening, a tribute to great performers, to humble beginnings, to home, and to the power of a well-crafted story, poured through a generational talent. Go to Full Review

Wild Rose is never particularly surprising, but it's a familiar story renewed in a satisfyingly female-focused way. Go to Full Review

The movie is like an old honky-tonk song, a little sentimental but full of heart. It torches and twangs without getting too hokey. Go to Full Review
Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) 07/14/2024
They’re working with a great script that loves utilising Scottish dialect and idioms to its fullest, but it’s really the actors that bring these layered characters to stunning life. Go to Full Review
Nick Levine NME (New Musical Express) 05/11/2021
Rising star Jessie Buckley shines as Rose-Lynn, an ex-con and wannabe country star from Glasgow, in this affecting British film that's definitely a bit grittier than A Star Is Born. Go to Full Review
Elizabeth Aubrey NME (New Musical Express) 04/29/2021
4/5
