Fresh out of prison, a Scottish woman juggles her job and two children while pursuing her dream of becoming a country music star. She soon gets her chance when she travels to Nashville, Tenn., on a life-changing journey to discover her true voice.

Critics Consensus

There's no shortage of star-is-born stories, but Wild Rose proves they can still be thoroughly entertaining -- and marks its own transcendent moment for lead Jessie Buckley.

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.

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

The movie is like an old honky-tonk song, a little sentimental but full of heart. It torches and twangs without getting too hokey.

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.

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.

4/5

The balance between crowd-pleaser and cliché is a fine one, but Wild Rose manages the former while also delivering a timely message from a voice we desperately needed to hear.

Not a bad movie but it felt like I had seen the story before and it was slow-going. Perhaps it just wasn't for me.

The movie started out a bit rough, but it led into an amazing story that was heart warming and fun. Its mainly a story about family and success, but which one to chose. In total the movie had a very deep message behind it. I would definitely recommend it.
