The three English actors I coached on-set for Art School Confidential were lauded for their American accents in a review of the film by James Berardinelli in Reelviews: Is it a commentary on the current state of American acting (where classical training is almost a thing of the past) that three of the most prominent roles in Art School Confidential are filled by British-born thespians (using impeccable American accents)? Sophia Myles, seen most recently in Tristan + Isolde, is as attractive as she is talented. Max Minghella (son of director Anthony) shows ability beyond his short resume. And Jim Broadbent is, as always, superb (and, in this case, disturbing).
