"Because it's three chords and the truth."
Wild Rose is one of those small-scale domestic Brit dramas that absolutely nails it characters and delivers true heart. At its centre is a electric performance from Jessie Buckley, a mesmerising raw ball of joy and anger as the young ex-jailbird mother trying to get by, reconnect with her children and follow her dream of being a Country music singer. As her mother, Julie Walters delivers another finely-observed and well-controlled character piece that juxtaposes well with her more freewheeling daughter. Treading a very fine line between realism and wish-fulfilment fantasy, Wild Rose is both very entertaining and extremely accomplished in all respects.
