Chloe Sevigny is back with even more opinions, this time about "Oppenheimer"

[gumby]

Sevigny recently told Rolling Stone that she was sick of Barbiecore and dogs. Get ready, because she's back with even more takes in an interview with Variety.

One key quote from Variety: “I like certain aspects of certain things or certain performances, rather than loving anything overall,” she says carefully, before praising “Maestro,”

Mark Ruffalo's accent was the worst thing about Poor Things.

[picturemegone]

I wish we got more Willem Dafoe instead.

[deerlike]

Between him and Emma...

[genbu_no_miko24]

I know the accents really don't matter in non-serious period film but I thought Emma's was worst. Funny enough it did not bother me in The Favourite but here I thought it was terrible.

Technically speaking they all were.

[donaestrangera]

yeah if it's a fantasy film where most of the cast is american, i feel like they could've all just kept their american accents. americans in london is not more unbelievable than some of the other things that film wanted us to believe lol

anyway i found both mark and emma's accents unbearable, emma's in particular gave me flashbacks to being in elementary school in the u.s. and badly trying to imitate harry potter on the playground lol, mark's i just don't know what he was going for

[genbu_no_miko24]

That's why I did a double-take when Emma thanked her dialogue coach at the BAFTAs cause I was like "where?" her accent was the same as in The Favourite??

[donaestrangera]

she had a dialect coach??!! girl ask for your money back...

lol since we're on the topic of crazy movie accents my mind instantly went to daniel craig in knives out, and when i went to look up emma's dialect coach it's the same person as daniel's dialect coach!

LOL and Daniel's accent sounds like Foghorn Leghorn to me!!

I hope he one day says "I say, I say!!"

[lpbrowncoat]

LOL Chris Evans character calls him Foghorn Leghorn at one point.

There are so many examples of actors using their normal accents in “foreign” and/or period settings: Amadeus, Dangerous Liasons/Valmont, The Death of Stalin.

I enjoyed Poor Things but the terrible accents were so distracting.

The only decent British accent in the whole film is Christopher Abbott. One of the people sitting in front of me in the theatre thought it was Kit Harrington.

[genbu_no_miko24]

I don't even remember his.

[walterwhiteh2o]

I'd like to see Christopher Abbott in more things. I've liked his performance in the very few things I've seen him in

[steffi_333]

Fundamentally I agree, but I think it added to the sleaziness of his character which kind of made me like it in a way

[iznanassi]

saying it again but the casting in that movie was awful for every single choice there, it made it impossible to be immersed in what was happening because it just felt like willem dafoe and emma stone and mark ruffalo and jack antonoff's wife and the sad looking assistant guy

[donaestrangera]

i watched drive away dolls over the weekend and i had so much trouble buying margaret qualley as this larger than life lesbian that she was supposed to be in the movie because i just kept looking at her and thinking "she's married to jack antonoff"
