Omg I had no idea, this just blew my mind

@@marinelefebvre1 IKR! I thought it was BS when I found out 🤣

Is she?!

She looks exactly like Jonah Hill.

@@sandysimpson4785 Yup. Jonah Hill's full name is Jonah Hill Feldstein - same last name. A lot of actors register a different name than their own with SAG-AFTRA - either because someone's already registered their name (i.e. Emma Stone, who in fact goes by Emily) or because it may be too hard to remember or spell when first starting out. I'm guessing it's the latter for him.

Oh man. I loved that movie when I was little. I even had a toy of the car.

A sequel to Clockwork Orange. Ha, ha!

It is a scary movie.

@@pferreira1983 that's what I thought.

ikr - had the watch the trailer to check

@Vita Morris every once in a while when people commented on actor's performance, there will always be this kind of stupid reply. I am not an actor, therefore i might be worse than her speaking with that accent, but that doesnt mean i have to worship her for everything she does, dumbass.

I think this film is not for you. Try something more burkay-ish .

@@procekim how can you tell someone that certain films is not for them? you dont even know me. This is the kind of films i always go to. Hence, why i'm here. I'm just stating my opinion about her accent in this. Idk what burkay-ish means

@@shukry533 sorry, can not write what it means. Just enjoy the movie it is going to be fun.

@@procekim as if im interested to know what it means 🙄

lilyhath they really should cast someone who was at least from the uk, it’s like she can’t make up her mind between Dublin and London, not to mention you can hear the American

Isn’t she dating an English person? Should have just copied her accent.

lilyhath she’s a brand and they need her name for the film to sell 🤷🏾‍♂️

I know they could’ve casted someone who either could do the accent properly or someone from Wolverhampton

She’s American, this is about as good as it gets for us when we try to do English accents lol.

Daphne Nebula what is the book called?

@@mariesdal1161 "How to be a woman" by Caitlin Moran

@Jack K well, i became even more feminist. With more understanding of the various facettes of what feminism covers

I feel the same way, that book made me feel understood

Robert John idk, Joanna was a lot like me and I’ve always been the "outcast". She was just trying to figure shit out, her journey was really inspiring to me

There’s nothing Irish sounding about it, I have no idea what they’re trying to do

@@SweetasSugar42 I think when she says her name it sounds pretty Irish, or at least nowhere in England.

Y’all clearly don’t know Irish people then..

She is not? Another Bridget Jones?

Was it necessary?

Honestly! That’s what I was gonna say

You realize there are dozens of British and Australian actors playing American roles, right?

I would say American TV and "Hollywood" movies are grossly over-populated with non-Americans, but I am fine with that and love all actors and their craft. This sounds like a YOU problem and not about the actress herself. Which I personally adore her other most recent comedy too.

same re: source material

You are doing God's work.

I can't believe the British crew on this listened to her in rehearsals, and thought that sounds okay. The writer's from Wolverhampton, and she thought it sounded right?

@@davidjames579 she worked in a shop in Wolverhampton for a week to try and pick up the accent, she tried lmao

@@chloekacperski1081 That makes it worse, if she actually shadowed life in Wolverhampton, and this is what came out of it. I thought she was just working from bad direction.

I guarantee you she did work with an accent coach. Some people just aren’t good at it

@@emmacassady4518 And that's why you don't cast someone who's wrong for the role. I could understand it (although not agree) if it was because she was a big name, but when this was filmed Booksmart hadn't come out, and a supporting part in an Indie film (Lady Bird) doesn't qualify you as someone who can sell a film. Speaking of Lady Bird, should have got Saoirse Ronan, she can do any accent well.

Did you know Beanie (the lead actress) is Jonah Hill's sister. (just a fun fact)

celine janse van rensburg I totally did not know that lol cool thanx! I think she has real talent.

Catch her in Booksmart, it’s great!

He was in jojo rabbit!

And Harlots season 3.

Jojo rabbit, hilarious duo with Sam Rockwell

Oh, he will be noticed more and more for the rest of his life, I'm sure becase he's so good. But see Jojo Rabbit, it's a small but memorable part and a good movie. He's been in Harlots season 3, and British crime show White House Farm Murders. But I'm looking forward to this movie in particular. It sucks that this will be a VOD release and not a theater one because every review I've seen mentions that he's both very good and extremely charming in this. :)

Yeah, he's definitely not just Lliy Allen's brother.

Helen is probably too old now because she was basically playing 15 in series 1 of Raised by Wolves. I've seen the clips they are using in America and I think Beanie just has more star power. It might get confusing having Helen play Germaine and Caitlin, but I would have liked to see her to be honest.

@@Char10tti3 I think the two actresses are about the same age actually, but I agree that Beanie's star power is why they cast her. And she is fantastic, it will be worth a slightly shaky accent for everything else she brings to the role.

@@jtuck35 Not a bad attempt. It sounds nothing like the region, let alone the place. What accent were her coaches teaching her? Also, does she have star power? She was co lead in Booksmart, and that was released when this filmed. I'm puzzled as to her casting. Normally you get an American star to sell internationally, not just any American.

@@davidjames579 Star power in comparison to anyone else who was likely to be accessible for a film like this, especially in terms of hitting the US market. Booksmart is an ideal CV (she was also the best friend in Lady Bird), since this is also a coming-of-age comedy about a bright but unorthodox teenage girl. She basically signposts what this film is for US audiences who wouldn't otherwise know what to make of this slightly bewildering kaleidoscope of Britpop references. As for the accent, you'll note that I said 'not a bad attempt'... and then some other conditional stuff which you ignored. I doubt you'll find a US actor out there who can actually pull off a Wolvo accent. This is better than I would have expected.

@@jtuck35 "Star power in comparison to anyone else who was likely to be accessible for a film like this". That's not accurate, there's loads of British actresses of the right age range who are more well known than she is. She didn't have star power at the time as Booksmart was just releasing (which wasn't sold on names) and a supporting role in an Indie film doesn't count as fame. Not a bad attempt? Except it is a bad attempt. You're ignoring what I said. The conditional stuff is irreverent as I'm not discussing her acting ability, I'm questioning her casting, esp in light of her inability to do a consistent accent, let alone one that resembles Midlands.

I only recognize 5 accents from the UK: - Michael Caine - Jason Statham in Guy Ritchie's films - Connor Mcgregor's irish accent - Sean Connery - Cumberbatch

@@danpenia219 So you recognise 3 UK accents, as Ireland is not part of the UK... Michael Caine - Cockey (London) Jason Statham - Cockney (London) Benedict Cumberbatch - RP (London) Sean Connery - Edinburgh Conor McGregor - Dublin

Why didn't they go for a southern guy in knives out instead of Daniel Craig?

Because he was brilliant in that film.

@@thebodiescannotveto I'm sure she is brilliant here too

she lives in the UK now

Hold up do you know how many Americans characters are played by British actors? It doesn’t matter where the actor is from as long as they do a good job and fit the part.

Definitely read the book - it's amazing!

Lol, she is English, just subtract the prettiness and fame xD

She was great in Booksmart, too. :-)

@Vita Morris No, she didn't. It doesn't even touch on Black Country, just going through lots of others.

@@davidjames579 of course she did!! She had training and lived and worked there. If you don't like it, that's fair, but you can't say she didn't try. accents are hard!

@@mysticwood8586 She may have done what she was told to by her coach, but she didn't try. The results show this, it's nowhere near Black Country. Either she had bad couching or she's rubbish. Or both. Her casting is still a mystery. She's not a star, so why sacrifice the role on her?

@@mysticwood8586 you tend to hire someone who can perform the part appropriately not attempt but ultimately fail

Translation: I love the hair color on her. She looks great. I had time

@@Carol-sn2pz Thanks!!! I can actually wrigth in English but I was on my phone when I did the coment and is hell with the autocorrect in Spanish, you are great

@@vikib1758 aww that's the kindest comment I've ever gotten on the internet. Same to u

It's atrocious.

Isn't it cultural misappropriation to cast a Jewish girl from Brooklyn as an Irish girl from the West Midlands?

I know I'm a year late but it's horrific. it doesn't sound at all like a Black Country accent

The actress is actually American her name is Beanie Feldstein, and she is the little sister of Jonah Hill

Merlin 210 she’s not British

And therefore nothing like Lady Gaga at all! But I see what you're getting at!

That accent is not black country it's a Birmingham accent

😂

Hana-Iman M Exactly what I was thinking!

I mean.. the accent is part of acting. And it was an utter miss.

yeah, Jonah Hill's sis
