Denn Forever

She's from Carlow I think.

that says what he means and

Saoirse Ronan's putty-ony Dublin accent in her interviews is annoying.

There - grumpy old man alert.

Haven't seen the fillum and would only see it if I was dragged to it.
Which I probably will be!

The accent - I thought it was only me. Ridiculous, but if your job is pretending to be someone e else ...
She's only a young wan, though. Maybe she'll get sense.

The fillum - one for the wimmin I think.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought WTF is going on with her accent!!

Was she not reared in Dublin? So why the put on accent?
Why would anyone put on a Dublin accent?!

According to google she was born in Carlow, left when she was 3 and reared in Dublin and New York. I think we can cut her a bit of slack.

The trailers make it seem a bit 'oirishy'. How does it rate on the stage Irish scale?

Wasnt getting at her specifically TB

Just in general the track record has been pretty poor  ;D

Grateful for the good reviews--read the book and really enjoyed it.  Look forward to the film now.

I thought all young wans sounded the same these days? Anyway she is a brilliant young actress who may well win an Oscar for this performance

Is Saoirse related to that all round good guy Johnny?

Watched this last night.

Not sure why Saoirse Ronan got a best actress nomination for this. I mean she was alright but the character didnt really lend itself to a great acting performance.

Film was alright... was more interested in the period props than anything else, herself loved it tho. What's the deal with Enniscorthy with the golf and rugby tho? no hurling?
