Listen to Glasgow from Wild Rose. Just do it. Written by Mary Steenburgen, it's a beautiful track with the ability to make you cry from pure catharsis.

Thanks to the sheer lack of promotion of Wild Rose in America - and therefore to a lot of Academy voters - the song and its context within the film were sadly easy to overlook.

The story of a Glaswegian ex-convict looking to become a Country music star in Nashville, Jessie Buckley leads the film beautifully, defining herself as one of the brightest stars that the UK has to offer.

Buckley's Lead Actress nomination at the BAFTAs was a true breath of fresh air, and to fully appreciate the beauty of Glasgow, you must watch the film in its entirety. In terms of small, homegrown stories with beautiful music to guide you along the way, Wild Rose is essential viewing.
