Didn’t love it. Beautiful environment but the story is a yawner.
In the end, Wild Mountain Thyme fails to make the most of its cast or fairytale story and feels slightly misbegotten.
The light touch, the structural economy and lyrical voice that buoyed the gentle four-character piece on stage become cloying and strained in this clumsy expansion.
Whether or not the word “whimsy” makes you flinch is probably a fair indicator of whether Wild Mountain Thyme is for you, but if you’re looking for the cinematic equivalent of a hot cup of tea on a blustery day, you might find yourself developing a taste for its particular brand of quirky romance.
