This article reveals a major plot twist spoiler. We expect a cute rom-com in “Wild Mountain Thyme,” delivered to us by the capable hands of Emily Blunt, Jamie Dornan, and Christopher Walken. It has the aroma of a classic until we get stuck half an hour through in a plot that drips along as slow as honey and packs an even stickier aftereffect. The late 2020 release created a sensation in the entertainment industry for its deliberately slow speed and its dramatic plot twist. The film intentionally slaps us in the face with crude accents, miscellaneous anachronisms, and an interpretation of love and identity that leaves many reviewers harboring harsh critiques.
