Robyn's (Rebecca Hall's) British accent appearing/disappearing questions
In the movie I believe they say a couple times she is from Chicago.
She sounded American for most of the film, but there were several times when I stopped and said to myself, "Wait a second, she just spoke with a strong English accent." I even went back and listened again and there are a few lines where she definitely sounds English.
Researching her a bit, I see she was born in England and also went to college there. She does, however, hold dual British & U.S. citizenship, so she must have moved and/or lived in the states for some time, and perhaps lives in the U.S. now.
So my questions are: 1) For those of you that have seen her in other works, does she speak exclusively with an English accent, or not? And 2) Do you think her sounding American and then at times English in this film was due to her slipping out of what was supposed to be a strictly American voice - OR just normal and accepted by the film as someone who lived most of her life in England (although not mentioned in the movie), moved to the U.S. and so sometimes is naturally going to sound a bit English?
