One of the unexpected highlights and pleasures of last year’s Toronto International Film Festival was a discovery by the name of Jessie Buckley, who soars in director Tom Harper’s transcendent musical dramaand in a supporting role in the upcoming singer-actress Buckley dominates this tale of a Scottish mother of two who is more interested in becoming a country music star than in anything her kids require.
Her mother has other plans for her and helps to get her a job as a housekeeper for Susannah , who is a good-hearted person, and once she hears Rose-Lynn sing, she decides to raise the money through friends to get her to Nashville.

The music throughout is thoroughly engaging, topped by the poignant and heart-lifting song, sure to be an Oscar nominee, called “Glasgow,” written by the Oscar-winning actress Mary Steenburgen .
