Since JLaw is there, I'd like to volunteer everybody in "Where Hands Touch."

Miss Amma Asante will not see heaven for this shit.

Idg Amma Assante she could have still made a high stakes interacial love story set during WWII without it being with a NAZI. Ma'am

[ponyboy]

i'm still mad she went after people making fun of this

[lovelylaura23]

I remember someone here called her a swirl historian. 🤣🤣

julia garner's commitment to that accent was iconic

someone lied to sienna miller several times

Missing Anne Hathaway in One Day.

[lovelylaura23]

Absolutely. also her in Becoming Jane

Oh man she looked so good in that movie. I havent seen it since seeing it in theatre but I remember it being pretty solid accent wise for the most part maybe I was just distracted by her face?

What about Kirsten Stewart in Spencer? I thought she was really good but I'm not British so what do I know.

She whisper mumbled her way through most of the movie but whenever she had to raise her voice, she lost the accent.

When she's yelling for the boys at the end of the movie, all I could hear was her shrieking about her baby being named after the Loch Ness monster in Breaking Dawn2.

It's hard to maintain an accent when you're yelling or laughing. Your own voice comes out at those times unless you're aware of it and focus very hard on maintaining the accent. She didn't.

Haha, I learned that same general rule from watching non-American actors on CW shows. They must mumble and keep their voices at the lowest register possible in order to maintain an American accent. When they speak in their natural voices during interviews, they're pitched noticeably higher.

She seemed good to me too lol

Even though my brain knew that Sienna Miller was trying for a southern accent, the entire time I watched this clip my ears were like WTF DOES NOT COMPUTE.

[amalgamade]

Yo wtf lmaoooo is this a satirical interpretation? It’s giving coddled UK actress makes her way to the theah-tah and tries to talk like Blanche Devereaux in her first play ever, and I’m pretty sure Sienna’s done theatre roles before?

And Jack’s face throughout this monologue chile, lolololol now I wanna hear him talk

[amor143x]

omg this like Rebecca (Anne Hathaway) in WeCrashed when she scammed herself the lead role in some play and then busted out a random Russian accent lol

This is a British southern accent. And I thought I heard all attempted accents.
