Critics Consensus

Fatally undermined by dodgy accents and a questionable story, Wild Mountain Thyme is a baffling misfire for a talented filmmaker and impressive cast.

I absolutely loved this movie! The dry humor and the awkward love story was great! I think Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan did such a wonderful job and it's a rewatch over and over for me.

A truly unique and delightful romance. Quirky and cute in a truly genuine way.

Unexpectedly funny and touching despite (because?) of the outrageous sentimentality. Also Christopher Walken: what's not to like.

I loved every second of this film. Slow pace, lush scenery, lovable, quirky characters, great sound-track. The acting was believable, especially Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan. Accents might have been better, especially from Christopher Walken, but easy to overlook. A little gem of a movie. Not sure why this movie was panned by the critics....

Mark Kermode

Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

Loud and obnoxious...quite astonishingly panned, and it's so bad that there's an outside possibility it might become a marginal cult classic. But honestly? I doubt it.

Observer (UK)

Shanley has an Oscar and a Pulitzer (he wrote the sublime Moonstruck, and the stage and screen versions of Doubt). Here, that's easy to forget...

Rated: 2/5

Times (UK)

Paddywhackery of the highest order is delivered in this execrable rom-com that's almost surreal in its unashamed awfulness.

Rated: 1/5

Reel Film Reviews

...a mostly compelling and ingratiating endeavor that fares best in its low-key first half...

Rated: 3/4

InSession Film

The script feels old-fashioned, offering contrasting results throughout the duration of the movie: sometimes it is adorable, sometimes reprehensible. Nevertheless, it offers warm moments filled with nostalgic longing for romantic epics.

Rated: C+

Flick Feast

Wild Mountian Thyme is a cinematic oddity. A film completely devoid of (lucky) charms but simultaneously a must-see movie. Cult classic status awaits!

Rated: 1/5
