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.

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.
