While Wild Mountain Thyme might be far from a perfect depiction of the intricacies of central Ireland, it is, at its core, the fabled and beautifully shot love story of two witty and eccentric childhood sweethearts that will have the ability to warm the coldest of hearts this holiday season.

Whether or not the word “whimsy” makes you flinch is probably a fair indicator of whether Wild Mountain Thyme is for you, but if you’re looking for the cinematic equivalent of a hot cup of tea on a blustery day, you might find yourself developing a taste for its particular brand of quirky romance.

The writing is wry and occasionally quite funny. It’s not unsurprising that it made for a good play. But on film it moves at a languorous pace. Like its characters, it’s not interested in getting anywhere anytime soon. Read full review

Speaking from personal experience as a fictional creature made of three-parts shamrock, two-parts rainbow, and one-part outdoor plumbing, I can tell you “Wild Mountain Thyme” is a very accurate portrait of modern Irish colleen/gombeen relationships. ‘Tis true, we none of us own a computer or a mobile phone (the air’s so thick with faeries and Catholicism that you can’t get decent Wifi anyway).

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, given the cartoon accents and overblown metaphors about horses destined to jump the fence. Read full review

It is also a romantic comedy/drama whose tone ping-pongs from grave to lyrical to absurdist willy-nilly, and hits all those registers at fortissimo volume. Read full review

Viewing the entire film as it finally arrives to video on demand, one remains staggered that sentient human beings who walk upright and use cutlery believed this was a respectable use of their valuable time. Read full review

I really enjoyed this movie. It’s very funny. Me and all my friends watching it were in tears laughing. It’s so bad it’s good

I don't like dumb romantic stories in which two goddamned adults can't speak to each other directly, because most of the times that creates very simple expectations of stories that become dumb, in order for the romance to last the entire duration.

And this film is so sweetened, that itI don't like dumb romantic stories in which two goddamned adults can't speak to each other directly, because most of the times that creates very simple expectations of stories that become dumb, in order for the romance to last the entire duration.

And this film is so sweetened, that it abuses it, and becomes quite insufferable, and that's surprising considering its cast.

I really don't recommend it.… Expand

This would be a great play. However doesnt translate into a film. Accents were ridulous. Story line a farse. This is not Ireland as i know it. A hour and a half of my life i will never get back.
