saw this in theater cause of reviews. Its good but not great, can skip in cinemas. I'm sure most cities won't show this.

I have seen the preview countless times and I was not planning to watch it. The main character comes across as really unlikeable in the preview.

I have viewed Wild Rose twice (in my local art-house theater) and have found it quite good—"good" the first time and "good/very good" the second time.
The movie has a lot going for it. It is crisply edited and shot with naturalistic yet creative lighting. The shots are often inventive, and Jessie Buckley is a powerhouse in the leading role, both as an actress and a singer. What is best about Wild Rose, though, is just how realistic it looks and feels—it is so much grittier than what Hollywood generally offers with this kind of story (i.e. A Star Is Born). The movie ultimately evades its fundamental fatalism and offers a sentimental conclusion, but at least it does so in unexpected ways that keep the viewer guessing and by journeying though a narrative that feels like "real life," with the talented singer's sprawling ambitions burdened by life's exigencies and her mistakes and lies.
In these regards, Wild Rose is very refreshing. It is not Honkytonk Man (Clint Eastwood, 1982), which remains true to its fatalism all the way through the end, but this film is sort of like a real-world version of A Star Is Born—stripping away the romance, glamour, glitz, and tragic gimmickry of that gloried archetype.
