Cinema… Movies Every Month
Next Movie - Sunday 13th October - Wild Rose
From the start, “Wild Rose” has an unexpected premise: It’s about a young Scottish
woman who aspires to be a country singer. (In an amusing running bit, she rolls her
eyes and exasperatedly corrects anyone who refers to the genre as “Country &
Western.”) Rose was raised in a working-class section of Glasgow, the only child of
a longtime bakery attendant (a subtly no-nonsense Julie Walters, providing tough
love). But she believes she should have been born in America, and that she belongs
in Nashville.
When we first see Rose, she’s getting out of prison after a year behind bars on a
drug charge, strutting away in a white-fringed leather jacket and matching cowboy
boots that provide a stark contrast amid the gray Scottish skies and reflect her
isolation. It’s telling that the first stop she makes is for a quick romp with her
boyfriend (to whom she sings Patsy Cline’s “Walkin’ After Midnight” instead of ringing
the doorbell) rather than to her mother’s house, where her two young children await.
They carry the country legend names of Wynonna (Daisy Littlefield) and Lyle (Adam
Mitchell). They are 8 and 5. They barely know her -- and she has no clue how to get
to know them. As compelling as the flashy musical numbers can be in “Wild Rose,”
seeing Rose struggle awkwardly to connect with her children during more intimate
moments packs an even greater punch.
