Wild Mountain Thyme (film)

Wild Mountain Thyme is a 2020 romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by John Patrick Shanley, based on his 2006 stage play Outside Mullingar. The film stars Emily Blunt, Jamie Dornan, Jon Hamm, Dearbhla Molloy, and Christopher Walken.

The film follows the story of Rosemary Muldoon (Blunt) and Anthony Reilly (Dornan), two introverted farmers living side-by-side in rural Ireland. Rosemary has been in love with Anthony since childhood, but Anthony seems oblivious to her affections. Anthony's father, Tony (Walken), threatens to leave the family farm to Anthony's American cousin, Adam (Hamm), sparking a series of events that force Anthony to confront his feelings for Rosemary and his place in the world.

Wild Mountain Thyme was released in the United States on December 11, 2020, by Bleecker Street. The film was widely criticized for its accents, its depiction of Irish culture, and its overall quality, though some reviewers praised the performances of the cast. It was a box office disappointment.
