Wild Mountain Thyme (2020)

Biggest pile of tripe!

From the trailer I knew this was going to be utter rubbish. However, not since the start of the pandemic have I ever been as baffled and horrified by this utter tripe. Didn't think it was possible but this movie surpassed that terrible trailer. Jamie Dornan (who is Irish) needs to 'evacuate' from Ireland for his performance, back to his 'bee hive' and hang his head in shame. Whoever did the research of Ireland, and the dialect coach, and writing, I mean everything about this movie was just a shambles. They all need a good talking to.

I'm Irish. First of all, none of us speak like 'dat' and no one dresses like Emily. A white dress in a dirty field, sporting the famine winter collection look of 1849, sponsored by Aran jumpers. Jamie Dornan sporting the cleanest looking overalls ever seen on a farmer and that white jacket. This movie is an insult to Irish people. It made Irish people look simple and that we all live in a field too scared to leave talking to Donkeys, waiting for some daft American to arrive to talk us into visiting the big city across the pond. If this was set in Mayo, the airport would have been in Knock, there is no way in hell Jon Hamm's character could rent out a classic Rolls Royce from there. No chance. It is a tiny airport. Lucky to get a Ford Focus.

The accents are not the worst thing about this movie, it is utterly terrible, but the story, characters, acting and dialogue blows the accents right out of the water. The story is ridiculous. Daft as a brush. The diddly aye music. None of the story makes any sense. Zero chemistry between Emily and Jamie.

The big reveal of his daft secret near the end was utterly ridiculous. My ears were 'buzzing' from the reveal. The only decent actor was the horse, trying to escape this movie. The cringe factor was through the roof. Is this what Americans think of Ireland?
