Andrew Garfield's over-exaggerated Southern accent in the trailer made Hacksaw Ridge a hard pass for me before I knew Gibson had anything to do with it. I've seen video of Desmond Doss; he did not sound like Forrest Gump or Eunice from those "Mama's Family" skits on The Carol Burnett Show.

Was it better or worse than his one in Doctor Who?

I honestly can't remember him from his Doctor Who episodes, so I couldn't say.

So not only Andrew Garfield, most of the cast is Australian. Then Hugo Weaving as his dad.

Matt, 'Daleks in Manhattan' and 'Evolution of the Daleks' were his. The worst of the Martha-era ones, honestly. Set in Depression-era Manhattan and OMG.

Yeah, I remember the Pig Guy and the human/Dalek hybrid from those episodes, just not Andrew Garfield. I probably didn't know who he was back when it aired, but curiously that proved no barrier to having a vivid recollection of Tom Ellis from that same season.

He's the annoying one who's supposed to be from Tennessee or something! Wears a hat. Sucks.

I took one for the team and ahemed Hacksaw Ridge tonight.
It was good, but I don't think Best Picture good. Where the Hollywoodification of Hidden Figures hit me hard afterward, I felt it while watching Hacksaw. I can't even point to one thing, maybe the score was super manipulative.
Sam Worthington is the one who lost it for me on accents, I think. Might have been a similar looking other guy.

Watched 20th Century Women today and really liked it. Part of it was the time frame, but really there is so much to like about it. To start with, the casting is absolutely stellar. This film should have gotten more Oscar love than just screenplay.

Today's movies were 13th and Hell or High Water.
Hell or High Water was better than both LaLaLand and Hacksaw Ridge. Jeff Bridges was great and the music was wonderful.
