> I recently watched the film “The Imitation Game” and it’s brilliant despite Keira Knightley’s failed attempt at a posh British accent.

Really?

Born: March 26, 1985 (age 29), Teddington, London, United Kingdom

Is the problem that her British accent wasn't posh enough?

If anything, the one issue I’d cite with the movie was that it didn’t depict Turing honestly in the slightest.

Why would you think Joan Clarke was any posher than Keira Knightly? She was the daughter of a vicar...

Is that posher or just more old fashioned? Serious question.
