Shirley Henderson's most annoying role


Shirley Henderson can be funny, but in my opinion, a little of her goes a long way, especially that squeaky little voice.

In this film, she's worse than ever, whispering most of the time and using an accent that sounds like it was stolen from a Monty Python sketch. She's virtually impossible to understand.

Not only that, but those hair styles! Yikes!

I disagree. I find her rendition charming and touching. As always, she is great in this role. The hair styles are the same that I supose you could admire in Velázquez's royal portraits. Those wigs are as ridiculous as the ones Charles and friends wear. Those were the times, my dear!

I love her, and I enjoy her acting performance, but her voice really grates!
