I feel both the twist and the scenes immediately preceding saved the film for me.
Wild Mountain Thyme definitely has a strange vibe. The whole thing feels a bit off-kilter. A bit random. A bit quirky. Doc Martin meets Derry Girls meets The Lobster comes to mind.
The scenery and colours are absolutely magic. The music is epic and melodramatic. It feels very "Irish" - even if not always feel authentically so. Nevertheless, it has an odd kind of charm. It's not often a film tries to single-handedly save itself via scenery and score.
Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan shared a weird chemistry, but I felt it worked towards the end. The entire plot twist scenes were hilarious. The whole movie made me laugh out loud numerous times - which was both unexpected and what I needed. Christopher Walken was great.
I was so close to abandoning this - sheer laziness and love for Ireland kept me watching. This isn't a good film, but I'm glad I stayed around, because it was a fun time in the end. Rogue, but entertaining nevertheless.
