WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In Ireland, headstrong farmer Rosemary (Blunt) is set on winning the heart of her handsome neighbour, Anthony (Dornan). However, not only is he oblivious to her attraction to him, but he is also facing a number of personal problems, from his father Tony (Walken) threatening to bequeath the family farm to his American nephew Adam (Hamm), to having apparently inherited a family curse…

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.
