TheWrap
Ultimately, of course, it’s Buckley who makes Rose-Lynn soar off the screen. It’s a dazzling, raw, intoxicating performance, and when she sings, it’s simply electric. - 90
The Hollywood Reporter
Pure dead gallus (that's Scots for 'wonderful'). - 90
Variety
Wild Rose, the closest thing to a sleeper I’ve seen at Toronto this year, is a happy-sad drama of starstruck fever that lifts you up and sweeps you along, touching you down in a puddle of well-earned tears. - 80
Empire
Jessie Buckley impresses again in the story of a woman who wants and needs so much more. A seemingly well-worn narrative becomes a more interesting look at the responsibilities and rights of being a mother with a dream. - 80
Time Out
Buckley, so good in serial-killer thriller ‘Beast’, is sensational here. - 80
The Telegraph
Landing the perfect ending is a challenge for any such story; A Star is Born, for all its guts and pathos, peaked early. Wild Rose holds its horses, and lets Rose-Lynn soar only when she’s worked out who she is. - 80
The Observer (UK)
Jessie Buckley, who proved so electrifying in Michael Pearce’s psychological thriller Beast, lights up the screen as Rose-Lynn Harlan; a 23-year-old firebrand, fresh out of jail, wearing an electronic tag beneath white cowgirl boots. - 80
Film Threat
Wild Rose is one of those films that you have to hunt for, and it’s well worth the effort.
