Irishwoman Mary Reynold's journey from rank outsider to winner of a Gold Medal at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Leave your thoughts about Dare to Be Wild.
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineEven with a few corny plot points, this is a beautifully made, thoroughly involving movie that might help change the way you think about nature. |
| Film Ireland MagazineCathy ButlerDare to be Wild is a visual feast, but perhaps a bit too epic for this viewer. |
| GuardianLeslie FelperinAt least the gardens are, as you would expect, spectacularly beautiful. |
| Total FilmTom BondAt times laugh-out-loud cheesy, it's a hard film to hate -- but a bit too nice to inspire much passion. |
| Irish TimesDonald ClarkeThis is film in which, to confirm the Chelsea administrator's Englishness, the great Alex Macqueen is asked to do calisthenics to Rule Britannia. |
| Times (UK)Kate MuirThe film version is pure Mills and Boon coupled with Grand Designs, even down to signs that say "20 days to Chelsea build" as the clock ticks. |
| Radio TimesDavid ParkinsonThere is evocative use of the scenery in Cork and Africa, doing justice to the colourful flora, but in the end, this lacks its heroine's free spirit. |
| Daily Express (UK)Allan HunterThe film's heart is always in the right place but Mary often seems naive to the point of imbecility and the approach to her story is relentlessly schmaltzy. |
| HeyUGuysStefan PapeThere aren't enough supporting story-lines to work alongside the core tale of competing in the Chelsea Flower Show, which struggles to compel, and will have problems appealing to a mainstream, broad audience. |
| Observer (UK)Wendy IdeIt's a herbaceous bore of a movie which trades in twee Oirish cliches and features a male romantic lead who has all the charisma of a shrub. |
