(SHIP BOTTOM, NJ) -- Lighthouse International Film Festival presents a screening of Wild Rose at The Arlington Bar and Restaurant in Ship Bottom on Friday December 13th at 7:00pm. The film involves a young woman aspiring to be a country singer might seem to be a familiar premise ( A Star is Born anyone?). But the Wild Rose title character is Scottish and she isn't just someone with a dream.

Jessie Buckley delivers an unforgettable, star-making performance as Rose-Lynn Harlan, a rebellious country singer who dreams of trading the working-class streets of Glasgow for The Grand Ole Opry of Nashville.

Wild Rose(2019), writes film critic Roger Ebert, "repeatedly up ends your expectations of how a film like this is supposed to play out--how it should look, how it should sound." With an electrifying soundtrack performed by Buckley. Wild Rose is a joyous human story steeped in music, courage, family, and achieving your dreams- no matter how far away they may appear. After all, all you need are three chords and the truth.

The screening is sponsored by LIFS and Maggie O'Neill of Mary Allen Realty and screens at The Arlington Bar and Restaurant, 1302 Long Beach Boulevard, Ship Bottom, NJ, Friday December 13th. A full Happy Hour menu is available for purchase beginning at 4:00pm. Wild Rose, ( Rated R for language throughout, some sexuality and brief drub material) begins at 7:00pm.
