Wild Rose (2018)
4/10
Acting: fine. Characters: caricatures. Story: missed it.
3 August 2020
The characters are forever making decisions that no rational human would make. It makes it really difficult to empathise or sympathise with a character when they're sabotaging their own relationships, or disowning their own daughter.

The plot doesn't seem to go anywhere. It's just depressing setback after depressing setback.

The happiest part of the film is when she gets her ankle bracelet taken off: a plot point that seemed to have no bearing on the overall plot.

The acting was fine I guess. Acting is one of those things that you only notice it when it's bad.

Wild Rose will be put into my folder of films with half decent music but no real plot to speak of. Alongside Once, La La Land, A Star is Born & Sunshine on Leith.
