Flickering Myth – Tom Beasley
“It is stunning to look at, with the costumes and sets absolutely on point, aided by Amelia Warner’s lush score”
Movie Music UK – Jonathan Broxton
“The opening “Overture” is an absolute delight, opening with a forceful and strident piece full of drive and purposeful movement; I especially love the fluttering, twittering woodwind accents that dart all around the piece, giving it a playful and elegant sound.”

“A gorgeous score by actress/composer Amelia Warner”

“Amelia Warner’s Wild Mountain Thyme ranks among the best scores of the year. Seriously, if you haven’t listened to the soundtrack, pick it up at the link below. It’s a truly majestic blend of luscious themes and Irish influences that works wonders for John Patrick Shanley’s quirky comedy-drama.”
Movie-wave.net – James Southall
“There’s a lovely, lilting main theme introduced in “Welcome to Ireland” with swooning strings complete with Gaelic accompaniment; bittersweet comedy in tracks like “Cemetery”; the occasional Irish jig (including one by Brian Byrne, “Shanley’s Delight”, which is quite delightful); more urgent drama as the romance is threatened in “The Phone Call” and “Open the Shutters”; and the inevitable sweeping finale, “The End”. It’s all very pleasant and very easy to listen to.”

“Warner is adept at creating timeless sounding scores for films with expansive stories and for this historical drama, she balances gravitas and grandeur with playful, energetic cues.”
