WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In Ireland, headstrong farmer Rosemary (Blunt) is set on winning the heart of her handsome neighbour, Anthony (Dornan).

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Already dreaded by some for its awkward onslaught of bad Irish accents, John Patrick Shanley’s star-studded adaptation of his own play Outside Mullingar has a treasure trove of entertaining moments underneath its surface.
