Diamond-in-the-rough Rose-Lynn Harlan (Jessie Buckley) is fresh out of prison and determined to make it as Country star. But her long suffering mother (Julie Walters), who has raised Rose-Lynn’s two children in her absence, thinks her dream is pie in the sky and demands she put family first. Forced to take a dead end job, she soon discovers a silver lining: her new employer (Sophie Okonedo) has become her biggest fan and wants to help her realise her ambition. With her self-belief restored, she begins to discover who she really is and that there is a different path to success. 

 

Written by award-winning writer Nicole Taylor (BAFTA for Best Writer for Three Girls and nominated for The C-Word), Wild Rose is a funny, sad, tender and uplifting story that will sweep along even the most hardened movie cynic: in her break-out role, star-in-the-making Buckley is utterly irresistible. 

 

Following this special screening, there will be a discussion hosted by Oscar-winning producer and the director of Birds’ Eye View, Mia Bays. She will be joined by the writer of Wild Rose, Nicole Taylor (BAFTA winner for Three Girls) and producer Faye Ward (Wild Rose, Stan & Ollie, The Crown).

 

After the panel discussion, Nicole Taylor and Paul Noble invite you to their all female country DJ set in our Cinema 2/3 Benugo café. Paul is the founder and Artistic Director of Spiritland and has DJ’d at clubs around the world including Fabric and O2.
