Wild Rose

Tonight's Screen Unseen turned out to be Wild Rose. As IMDb would say 'A musician from Glasgow dreams of becoming a Nashville star.' 

To be fair that's grossly underplaying it. It should be 'an angry, ex-offender, negligent single mum of two .. from Glasgow dreams of becoming a Nashville star.'

When this film first started, I went along with it. First thing I'd do when I got out of prison would be straight round to the Mrs for a shag.. and THEN home to see the kids.. Obviously.. Ok, we get it, shes a bad mum..
Lands a job cleaning at a posh house.. And as soon as the owner pop's out she raids the drinks cabinet.. Ok, we get it, she's a bad employee.. So far, so cliché..
And you know how the rest of it goes.. 

Julie Walters is excellent (as usual) playing Rose-Lynn's (Jessie Buckley) mum and M/s Buckley really demonstrates her singing skills as the lead..
Did I enjoy it? It was ok. The problem is I'm getting fed up with these 'gritty, real life dramas' Odeon keeps churning out for the Unseens.. Where's the Arrivals and The Shape Of Waters? Or even Baby Driver and It Follows..?

Any way, I don't want to waste any more of my time.. 

It's a *** movie..
