Ralph has done a pretty good job.

Watching it now. He’s murdering it. Much more Dorset that Deben.

Don't say that, I've been looking forward to it!
His voice coach from Sudbury, reckoned Ralph [!] got it right.
Maybe you've been in Wales for too long to remember.

I thought he did very good on the accent actually, so he should he was born in Ipswich :) its not Akenfield for sure, in fact only him and his screen wife were speaking Suffolk which felt a bit odd and maybe makes it stand out more than it should perhaps, than thats just how it was
but its just the way they told the story, Ill have to read the book to see how the story was portrayed but it felt a faithful adaption of the book, rather than an adaption of the history that happened turned into a story for a film, which alot of people might have expected instead and why all the complaints about Carey Mulligan being too young completely miss the point
but yeah on the accent I think he got it right, there wasnt a moment at all where I thought but thats not how you say that, whereas the wife there were a couple of times she mangled maybe a single word of a line, like saying future, and it stood out like Lambert apology.
I loved the fact they cast Johnny Flynn in it though, because there was alot of the Detectorists vibe from the film, and it appears alot of the nation hadnt realised how much of that show had been inspired by the Sutton Hoo discovery in the first place.

Carey Mulligan is too young though... Keeley Hawes would have been a good choice,

I watched last night and really ejoyed it. A very gentle film with excellent photography and music.
The accents were more a nod to Suffolk than real Suffolk, the vowel sounds were too short, the "ing" was never pronounced as a "un" but a small thing really. Disappointed that any village scenes were clearly not Suffolk villages but the early scenes with the river and big skies had a real Suffolk feel.
Well worth a watch anyway, the acting was top notch and some really good characters mixed in.

I agree. It was nice to see a film that features our little corner of the world. It was also nice to hear the words Ipswich and Museum in a sentence, instead of Ipswich and “nil”

I thought the same about the Detectorosts feel. It was a slow, gentle plot which I really enjoyed.
On the whole the accents were much better than usual for East Anglian settings.

suprised at how little of the find was shown...thought at least the helmet would have made an appearance...
The helmet was in bits when it was found. It was deades before it was recontructed and it is only a partial reconsstruction because a lot of it has corroded away. For the most part it wouldn't have looked at all impressive when discovered, the bowl, clasps and buckles probably would have been the most spectacular objects when found.

I thought it was all filmed round the area..? I enjoyed it mostly apart from the immensely stupid love story they shoe horned in.
In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

I dunno, the landscapes defitenitely felt like Suffolk but the village scenes appeared to be elsewhere. The stone / brick didn't look familiar and there was one shot of a lane with a hill in the background leading out of a village. I may well be mistaken but some details didn't look quite right for Suffolk. It certainly didn't distract from the overall feel of the film.

I must say, in Detectorists I didn't think a single character even tried to do a north Essex accent. (As I undertood it, it was supposed to be set in the Halstead area, even if filmed in Suffolk mostly.) All the voice coach needed to do is play them interviews with Keith Flint (RIP) .
The only actor I've ever heard convincingly 'do' Suffolk is Keith Theobold in Twenty Twelve.

I'll be giving it a watch tonight, so I'm assuming the village scenes you're talking about are in Surrey, as that's where some of it was filmed.
