Stuck in a run down Glasgow flat with an ankle tag curfew, Rose-Lynn's an angry, foul mouthed, punchy drunk who argues with her mother and can't relate to two kids that have grown and changed in the meantime. She struggles to cope with basic everyday life.
The ONLY thing she's ever been any good at is singing Country music at Glasgow's one Country venue.
When she sings it's like she lights up inside.
Rose-Lynn picks up some cleaning work for affluent, refined Susannah (Sophie Okonedo) who lives in a huge aspirational home in the good part of the city, a massive contrast to Rose-Lynn's existence. One day Susannah's children hear Rose-Lynn singing while cleaning and enthuse about it to her.
It turns out Susannah might know somebody who knows somebody...
Lovely.
This takes the very common setup of the talented person from the wrong side of the tracks who dreams of stardom but sets it in a grimy Glasgow.
There's a slice of narrative about privilege and the opportunities it affords you, and the inverse but it's never preachy.
It's worth it just for the music though. Jessie Buckley does the majority of her own performances and really does light up the screen when she sings.
Heart-warming without being sickly, sad in places and not as predictable as you'd think this is a lovely lovely thing and no you don't have to care about Country music.
Watch it to have your heart lifted, 10/10.
