Fresh out of jail with two young kids in tow, Rose-Lynn dreams of getting out of Glasgow and making it as a country singer in the USA. Her mum Marion (played by Julie Walters Billy Elliot, Paddington) has had a bellyful of Rose-Lynn's Nashville nonsense and urges her daughter to focus on supporting her children. Forced to take responsibility as a mother, Rose-Lynn gets a cleaning job, only to find an unlikely champion in the middle-class lady of the house (played by Sophie Okonedo Hotel Rwanda). In this coming-of-age tale, Rose-Lynn comes to realise that the path to living out her dreams may be closer to home than she thinks. This is an uplifting and moving comedy drama about mothers and daughters and dreams and reality. WILD ROSE is a heart-warming and feel-good new film that tells the story of a free-spirited young singer Rose-Lynn Harlan (played by Jessie Buckley Taboo, War & Peace) who is bursting with raw talent, charisma and cheek. But will she escape the shackles of Glasgow and her roots to follow her dreams of Nashville?

Rio Grande was the last and least memorable of John Ford's famous cavalry trilogy (following Fort Apache and She Wore a Yellow Ribbon), but it none the less maintains an interesting continuity about the gentlemanly rules of military conduct. Here the focus is on the family. While creating a heated controversy over his handling of the Apache war, John Wayne must also contend with disgruntled wife Maureen O'Hara and estranged son Claude Jarman Jr, a new recruit trying to earn his father's love and respect. Ford suggests that there are two conflicting codes of honour in every cavalry officer's life, the personal as well as the professional, and that it takes an act of heroism to maintain both. It's fascinating to observe Wayne's progression throughout the trilogy, as his personal stakes intensify. This is the first of five onscreen appearances between the Duke and O'Hara, each filled with a competitive spirit and stormy sexuality. --Bill Desowitz, Amazon.com
