The Irish embassy in the US has joked that Emily Blunt and Jamie Dornan present “a remarkably realistic depiction” of Irish people in the trailer for their new film Wild Mountain Thyme, adding: “We are a beautiful people.”

The film, written and directed by John Patrick Shanley, also stars Jon Hamm and Christopher Walken and tells a love story set against the landscapes of rural Ireland.
