We all enjoy movies that, if we had to write a review, we’d pan. Mine range from ’60s musical “Bye Bye Birdie” to Richard Curtis’ “Love Actually,” which has become a family Christmas staple. (That scene between Laura Linney and Rodrigo Santoro? Awful.)
During my ’80s stint at Film Comment Magazine, we published several directors’ guilty pleasures, from Michael Powell to Stephen King, as well as John Waters’ list of high-end art films, which included both Pier Paolo Pasolini’s “Teorema” and Woody Allen’s “Interiors.”
The latest entry to my guilty pleasures list is Bronx-born playwright John Patrick Shanley’s “Wild Mountain Thyme,” a sublimely over-the-top, candy-cane romance that makes no sense whatsoever. It’s possible to imagine that a canny mainstream Hollywood director like Norman Jewison could have transformed Shanley’s adaptation of his 2014 Tony-nominated play “Outside Mullingar” (written after he turned 60 and inspired by his family...

Oh boy. I have so many questions for John Patrick Shanley. One of which is simply, why? Why was this the story you wanted to tell. Remember, Shanley has previously given us a classic romantic comedy in Moonstruck, penning that screenplay, as well as writing and directing a stirring drama in Doubt. He’s a talented man, no doubt. His return to rom coms, however, in Wild Mountain Thyme, makes his other directorial outing, Joe Versus the Volcano, seem perfectly normal by comparison. This is the weirdest film of the year, almost defying any real definition or verdict. It kind of has to be seen in order to be believed. Make of that what you will. The movie is a romantic comedy, though describing this one is going to be tough. In short, it’s a tale of Irish star-crossed lovers. Rosemary Muldoon (Emily Blunt) is a feisty snd opinionated...

Lee Isaac Chung’s Minari made its world premiere at Sundance earlier this year and immediately became the talk of the fest after it won Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award in the U.S. Dramatic Competition. Now, A24 is set to share this moving story with the world — well, in limited release at least. The family drama opens in select theaters for an awards season qualifying run but will open wider on February 12, 2021.
Written and directed by Chung, Minari parallels his life as it tells the story of a Korean-American family that uproots from metropolitan Los Angeles to rural Arkansas to chase the American Dream. Steven Yeun, Yeri Han, Yuh-Jung Youn, Noel Kate Cho and Alan Kim, the film follows the family as the dynamics change in their new household when their sly, foul-mouthed, but incredibly loving grandmother comes to live with them.

Movies are constantly coming up with reasons to keep lovers apart for long enough to convince audiences that they genuinely belong together, but “Wild Mountain Thyme” may be the first film in which those obstacles are never made clear. Rosemary Muldoon (Emily Blunt) is beautiful. Anthony Reilly (Jamie Dornan) is beautiful. These two Irish neighbors grew up on adjacent farms, and the “once upon a time”-style opening narration — delivered by Anthony’s father, Tony, played by Christopher Walken — makes it all to evident in the opening minutes that these two are destined for one another. And yet, Rosemary and Anthony are not a couple.
Adapting his own Tony-nominated play “Outside Mullingar” in the key of twee, director John Patrick Shanley has made a film that many will enjoy, but few will understand, and it’s not helped by a prologue in which young Anthony gazes up at the stars and asks,...

‘Wild Mountain Thyme’ Film Review: Relentless Charm Offensive Makes Irish-Set Rom-Com Hard to Resist
“Wild Mountain Thyme” opens with fiddles playing over a narrator saying “Welcome to Ireland” before promptly announcing that he’s dead — and that’s just the beginning of the bottomless pot of Irish charm that writer-director John Patrick Shanley dips into for this breezy romantic comedy.
Audiences may find themselves captivated or irritated — or, more likely, some combination of the two — over the hundred or so minutes that follow, but the film takes such a circuitous route down a familiar path, and does so with such wit and eccentricity, that the experience as a whole becomes harder and harder to resist.
Make no mistake, that “Welcome to Ireland” sets the tone for what’s going to be the tourism-board version of the country, from director of photography Stephen Goldblatt’s picture-postcard vistas of rolling green hills to the beautiful sunny weather that gives way to dark clouds and rain only when metaphorically necessary.

After Mary Poppins Returns, Jungle Cruise and two A Quiet Place films, Emily Blunt wanted to play a role that harkens back to the dramatic and comedic work of her early filmography. Luckily, she found exactly that in John Patrick Shanley’s Wild Mountain Thyme. Set in rural Ireland, Blunt plays a farmer named Rosemary Muldoon who tries to settle a land dispute involving her neighbor Anthony Reilly (Jamie Dornan), someone she’s carried a torch for since childhood. For Blunt, the role couldn’t have come at a better time.

The first trailer for the Irish romantic comedy “Wild Mountain Thyme” has arrived, teasing a sweet love story set against the country’s lush greenery. Emily Blunt stars as Rosemary Muldoon, a farmer hoping to woo her neighbor, Anthony Reilly, played by Jamie Dornan. Yet, Anthony is oblivious to her feelings and is preoccupied by his father (Christopher Walken) making plans to sell their farm to an American relative, Adam (Jon Hamm). The trailer showcases Dornan, who adapted his Ulster accent, while Blunt and Walken adopt Irish accents alongside him. Watch the video above.
“Welcome to Ireland,” intones Walken’s character at the beginning of the trailer. “Once upon a time, there were two farms: the Muldoon farm where Rosemary lived and right down the road was my farm.” We see Rosemary pining for Anthony even as his father advises against it, while Anthony practices proposing marriage to a donkey.

The last time John Patrick Shanley was behind the camera it was for the 2008 religious drama “Doubt,” which landed him an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay and garnered four acting nominations for Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, and Viola Davis. For “Wild Mountain Thyme,” Shanley’s first movie in 12 years, the writer-director is traveling down a much lighter path and returning to the romantic charms of his scripts for “Joe Versus the Volcano” and “Moonstruck,” the latter of which won him the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
