Imogen Poots American Accent

There were times during the film, particularly while doing scenes with Mark Ivanir that she really seemed to struggle with her American accent. Anyone else agree?

I don't agree, I thought she did a pretty convincing job the whole way through.

And yes, I knew she wasn't American before the movie, so I was seeing if I could catch a lapse.

yes I noticed. It was distracting, but not as distracting as the terrible screenplay.

Here here. And isn't she basically playing the same character from Solitary Man except slightly more annoying?

I thought she was terrible. Not the *worst* attempt I've ever heard. But still pretty bad.

I had never heard of her, nor did I know she was English. But I noticed straight away there was something off about her accent, so I checked Wikipedia, and lo and behold, I found out she was English.

I couldn't disagree more. I think it's incredible how well it is.

Here it comes
The unavoidable sun
Of what's just happened
And what's been done

I found, so far, no mention that A Late Quartet is a remake of a 1983 italian film. Originally titled Il quartetto Basileus, it showed in the USA as Basileus Quartet.
