Kim Cattrall
Was anyone else completely amazed by her performance? She was so good in that role, especially towards the end of the film! I completely bought ever look and every word. I had no idea she was such a superb dramatic actress!

She was very good in this movie, since Kim has good acting skills in a drama film and was moved by her emotional and powerful performance, espeically when she was grieving over Jack's death.
shareWhat was amazing about all the performances was the portrayal of the British propensity to manifest a "stiff upper lip" under the most horrendous of circumstances.
shareHey, Wicked! I remember you from the Jane Eyre board.
I, too, was amazed by Catrall's performance. Who knew? In the first moments of the film (not knowing a thing about Rudyard Kipling and his life) I thought she was doing the worst English accent EVER, but quickly realized that she was using an American accent because she was American.
What a coup it was for her to score this role. It really shows her range and talent well and couldn't be more different from her Sex and The City role.
Good for her!

As a lifelong Kipling fan, I knew that Carrie Balestier Kipling was an American. But I thought Cattrall's accent was ridiculous: she sounded like an American trying to sound like an English actress trying to sound American. All those overemphasized "er"s at the ends of words...she was great in the role, but couldn't they just have left her accent alone? (And yes, I know Kim Cattrall was born in England and lived there a while...)
