Watch: Wild Rose [BFI] [having trouble viewing this email?]( [BFI]( [BFI]( [BFI]( [Wild Rose]( "A serious crowd-pleaser" Tim Robey, The Telegraph Wild Rose Eager to swap a criminal record for a musical one, country music obsessive Rose-Lynn (Jessie Buckley) won't see that it's a long trudge from Glasgow to Nashville, especially with two kids and an ankle tag. So far so what, you might think. Seen that. But Wild Rose changes the formula thanks to a star performance of untamed fire and musical oomph, supported by Julie Walters and Sophie Okonedo at their best. That package is polished by Tom Harper, director of War Book and new project, The Aeronauts, and it makes him an empathic and powerful storyteller of considerable achievement. Tickets for The Aeronauts – and many other previews – [are available]( for the BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.
