Wild Mountain Thyme : Amoureux fous

And it's in moments like this, when the film settles down and stops trying so hard to please us, that it actually connects.

Writer-director John Patrick Shanley pivots back and forth from sweet to sticky, but Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan help make the concoction palatable.

It's not at all clear what's keeping Anthony (Dornan) and Rosemary (Blunt) apart in John Patrick Shanley's overripe Irish romance.

Shanley works hard at conjuring a transporting sense of place (...).

The most glaring issue of Wild Mountain Thyme is how uninteresting it not only is, but actively tries to be.
