Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan with the lush green fields of Ireland as a background ... now that is true romance
10 August 2023
Of course the brewing romance between Rosemary (Emily Blunt) and Anthony Reilly (Jamie Dornan's character) living apart as neighborhood farmers in the lush green fields of Ireland is a romance the audience wants to happen, or is it? Once Anthony's rich and handsome American cousin Adam (Jon Hamm) makes his appearance while considering to purchase the farm from Anthony and his sister Mary Reilly's who inherited their rundown farm from their dying father Tony Reilly (Christopher Walken).

Adam meets the attractive neighborhood farmer Rosemary and spends some quality time with her much to the dismay of the hesitant Anthony who feels the pressure of possibly losing both his family farm and his unrequited love Rosemary to his American cousin if he does not act upon his romantic feelings towards her sooner, rather than later.

Mrs. Shullivan and I have spent quality time in Ireland and we can attest to the romantic atmosphere the country exudes so it is no surprise that the shy and hard working farmer Anthony who loves his farm and his neighbor Rosemary is struggling to pop the question of marriage.

There is hardship, mystery, romance, as well as comedy and when you combine the talent of the A-lister actors in the film any person devoid of emotion after watching this first rate film must be living in the afterlife alongside father and uncle Tony Reilly (Christopher Walken).

It is a memorable film which Mrs. Shullivan and I will most likely watch again on a rainy night to remind us of the lush fields of Ireland. I give the film a memorable 7 out of 10 IMDb rating.
