![]() We all know what happened in 2020, but Covino’s film hung around and kept building word of mouth. The tale of a toxic friendship landed at Sundance 2019 to critical acclaim and became a festival darling during that awards season. Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Martin’s film, THE CLIMB, has been appropriately named for its themes and long journey to being released. WILD MOUNTAIN THYME is now available on DVD and Digital.Ĭast: Michael Angelo Covino, Kyle Marvin, Gayle Rankin, Judith Godrèche, Talia Balsam, Daniella Covino, Eden Malyn, Meredith Holzman and George Wendt The story doesn’t translate to screen, and the performances are all over the place despite its cast’s unforgettable charm.īuy or Rent?

(This will make more sense if you watch the film.) The result is a baffling, if not enchanting, film adaptation that somehow has a lot in common with Jerry Seinfeld. One of the best modern playwrights, John Patrick Shanley (DOUBT, MOONSTRUCK), has adapted his own play OUTSIDE MULLINGAR with WILD MOUNTAIN THYME.
