Jessie Buckley's Star Turn in 'Wild Rose' Gets First Trailer - Watch Now!

The trailer for the upcoming movie Wild Rose has been released and it features a star-making performance from newcomer Jessie Buckley.

The 29-year-old actress was nominated for the EE Rising Star Award at the BAFTAs earlier this year.

Jessie plays Rose-Lynn, a would-be country singer who dreams of leaving her rough life in Glasgow, Scotland for the bright lights of Nashville.

Fresh out of a stint in prison, Rose-Lynn is a single mom with an ankle monitor, a curfew, and a concerned mother (Julie Walters), who wants her to focus more on her two children and less on her music. But when Rose- Lynn tries to hold down a housekeeping job, her boss (Sophie Okonedo) hears her singing and becomes an unlikely supporter, intent on getting her to Nashville despite the long odds. Caught between hope and responsibility, Rose-Lynn must find her place without abandoning her raw talent and grand ambitions.

The movie will be released in June.
