I believe I’ve said it here before, but I think she’s been “acting” for so long and is so good with accents, instead of going back to her old one, she either doesn’t remember what it was, or simply decided a certain accent suited her persona better. I think Colin Farrell is the same way to an extent. Whatever, there’s no way thats Ronan’s real accent.
I wasn’t be able to stand her much in the past, but she was excellent in Brooklyn and for some reason I’m warming to her more ever since.
As an aside, I had no idea Domhnaill Gleason was in The Revenant, what a fucking year of movies he’s had.
+1. I saw Saoirse Ronan interviewed on various things over the years and thought she was a bit of a gimp. But I fell in love with her during Brooklyn - she’s a sweetheart/princess.
