I am so invested in not missing a SECOND of Wild Mountain Thyme that I'm using a Good Wipe to clean my glasses, not just my sleeve or whatever corner of a jumper I can grab.

My Thai food just arrived so I have a bowl of noodles bigger than my head and I'm about to get INVESTED in Emily Blunt's shawl.

Opening shot of the Cliffs of Moher.

We already know what we're in for.

Just got a church ruin with an old burial ground. Love it. It's like they knew I'd be watching.
#MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Cattle, grass in the middle of the road AND a made-up-proverb. I. Am. Obsessed.

Okay. Bone to pick number 1: Rosemary has a mother called Aoife.

Now if you'll excuse me, I don't know a single person under the age of 35 called Rosemary but I know hundreds called Aoife. So they fucked up here. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

These houses are kitchen goals. But an emotional pep talk from an Irish father? Absolutely never. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

THE FIFTY SHADES FELLA IS CLEANING HIS FACE WITH SPIT ON A RAG.

"Stout"
Not even Guinness wants a product placement.

Bone to pick number 2: Fifty shades man just referred to his father as "daddy"

EMILY BLUNT IS SMOKING A PIPE AND GIVING HER BEST MAURA HIGGINS IMPRESSION.
GIVE HER THE OSCAR. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

An Irish Mammy stressing about the ham and what the dog gets... Very realistic. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Then men are very poetic. They speak almost as if they're intelligent.

So apparently the houses still have half doors, mass is a social occasion for those under 30, a letter from America is a huge scandal

But the An Post van just arrived and it looks very new.

A 2020 TAX, NCT AND INSURANCE DISC ON THE JEEP.

But the houses all have single pane windows. Your head would be spinning all the same.

Fifty shades man is in the pub and a very 2020 looking hun has just arrived absolutely doused in black eyeliner and ordering a cocktail...
So tell me why Fifty Shades man's skincare routine is spit on a hankie, and Emily Blunt is smoking a pipe. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

There's a trad band ON A STAGE in the pub and everyone has turned to face them.
Emily Blunt's style for the big night out is a fancy hairclip, a high-neck floral rig-out, and a clashing shawl.

I may just chance a shawl on a night out when the vaccine lands...

Even the dullest-hun in the country knows it's jeans and a nice top for the pub.
Brown boots and a shawl. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Actually, her floral dress is lovely, fair play to her. Bang on trend. Adding shawls to my 2021 wardrobe immediately. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

FIFTY SHADES MAN IS AFTER GOING ON A RAGING SESSION WITH HIS FRIEND FROM THE PUB. SHE'S SMOKING FAGS AND HOPPING WALLS. I LOVE HER.

We've just had Knock airport and an Aer Lingus flight. And the Yank cousin is arriving in an automatic Rolls Royce. A rental car apparently. No Skoda Citigos left in Hertz in Knock anyway. An automatic car is greeted with disdain. We're firmly placed in 2020.

THE YANK COUSIN IS FLIRTING WITH EMILY BLUNT AND THE ONLY THING WORSE IS THE FIFTY SHADES FELLA USING A METAL DETECTOR IN THE SAME SCENE. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

He's using a metal detector next to the electric fence. Not a peep out of it. Obviously never turned his illegal and culturally offensive foraging device on. Fair play to him. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

And we've had the "I can take you to America and show you how civilised people live, take you away from the plight that is the green fields and this fuckin eejit committing crimes against heritage" #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

"how does money need YOU to manage it?"
Emily hasn't a SPLIT JAYSIS SECOND for the fancy Yank and his automatic car. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Doing some research here quick
#MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

They have used the Rolls Royce to carry bags of beef nuts down the farm.
A
Rolls
Royce
To
Carry
Beef
Nuts.
#MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

I've had to pause quickly because I'm losing my fucking mind at the Rolls Royce. This has absolutely ended me. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Okay now they're outside an ICU but the sign on the door says it's radiology. But also ICU.
Even I know it can't be both. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

I'm obsessed with Emily Blunt's gaff with the white walls, sash windows, and red shutters.
Love it.
#MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

I don't want to tweet any spoilers so this is impossible. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Emily Blunt is smoking fags, talking about footing turf, and Fifty Shades man is having an anti-feminist breakdown. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

This is where things become really realistic.

My next bone to pick: why are there so many cars?
They seem to own a different car in every scene and I don't understand. How many farm cars do you need? If this is 2020, what happened to the Land Rover or the Ford Mondeo or MAYBE the Skoda Octavia. One car does the whole job.

We have ANOTHER shawl appearing. A lovely teal/blue paired with a white dress with a lace trim and black biker boots.
An absolute look. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Oh we're in New York now. Emily Blunt is coming to terms with the concept of tall buildings. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

And we're crying in the theatre at the ballet, alongside the handsome Yank who only drives automatic cars.
The Maura Higgins impression is back stronger than ever. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

On second thought, the Yank is VERY handsome and a real charmer. He's also very poetic but his hair is VERY dyed. Emily Blunt deserves better than this. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

OH THEY'VE KISSED, OVERLOOKING THE RIVER. IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
Emily Blunt seems to be suffering from PTSD after the act.
#MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Best supporting actor absolutely must go to Fifty Shades man's dog. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Handsome Yank is reading on his iPad. We are definitely in 2020. He has met a pretty woman sitting next to him. I hope she distracts him from Emily Blunt and everyone lives happily ever after. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Emily Blunt has another lovely white dress on her. Costume department knocked this out of the park. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Emily Blunt has referred to the metal detector as a "weed whacker"
Emily Blunt is sound when it comes to matters of heritage and conservation. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

https://twitter.com/MedievalDuffer/status/1337477302767276033?s=19 few references to Guinness now. Emily has pulled out a bottle of the Dark and Lively Extra Stout and has claimed it's as good as the pub.
After many lockdowns, I can confirm, the Extra Stout IS as good as the pub. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

"can I make you a sandwich?"
"no"
"I'm going to."

This flirting is too much to handle. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

"why would you want to smell the cows on me when you could smell the lilies on him?!"
I. Am. Inconsolable. At how hilarious this film is. I truly adore it. Every single second of it. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

LADS, THERE'S BEEN SUCH A TWIST HERE, I CAN'T EVEN TALK ABOUT IT. #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

The nice lady next to the Handsome Yank has mentioned the Ring of Kerry.
Absolutely gasping for some action shots of the ring tbh. The good stuff, not like Cahersiveen #MedievalDuffersWildMountainTime

Right. That's that.
It was absolutely stellar.
I adored every second of it and will ABSOLUTELY watch it again.
Genuinely my only complaint is any of the trad they played was a bit slow given the rest of the tunes were fairly slow throughout the film.

On further reflection, this film is lighthearted, good craic, totally batshit wild at parts. The location is beautiful and they haven't tried to give it some ridiculous name or place it within the country, the only reference to where it is is Knock airport. 1/2.

I will definitely watch it again, the accents are very easy to ignore after the first few minutes and anyone who says they're too good to watch it is WRONG. IT'S SPECTACULAR. 2/2.
