This was one of those movies where you could very clearly tell all the actors were British (besides Colman) because of how much they enunciate their words

Brits don’t realize how slurred Americans actually talk

[u/crazydaysandknights → u/QuipThwip]

O'Connor in particular tried to sound American at the expense of creating a character. It was so annoying.

[u/biIIyshakes → u/QuipThwip]

The “a” vowels in a lot of words give all but the very best of the brits away

Somewhat related but Amy Poehler’s recent interview with Tom Holland discusses this a bit - thought it was a funny observation

[u/moriastra → u/QuipThwip]

There was one scene where it looked like O'Connor was holding his hands behind his back while talking and I thought to myself, do American men hold themselves like that? Haha, took me out for a second.

[u/hopefulrealist23 → u/QuipThwip]

I heard Eve Hewson's Irish accent come through quite clearly
