As a Boston area native, that's how I feel about Boston accents in movies. We don't all sound like the Kennedys!! The Departed is nearly unwatchable to me for this reason. I would pay Leo an undisclosed large sum of money to never talk in an accent other than his own ever again. It's the one thing he's terrible at. He sounded like a f***ing cartoon in Shutter Island. I always heard he did a good job in Blood Diamond. I've only seen bits and pieces, but apparently that accent is one of the hardest to imitate.

It sounds great if you've never actually talked to anyone from South Africa. Growing up my family was friends with another family who were from South Africa and Dicaprio's accent sounds like a caricature. Andy Serkis does one in Black Panther that sounds a lot more authentic.

Watching The Great Wall, and I cannot make head nor tails what accent Matt Damon is using. The character is supposed to be Irish, but that accent is in and out, and in and out all over again.

To me the film with the best Boston accent is "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" Robert Mitchum really nailed it Best Boston accent movie is Gone Baby, Gone. I know half of them were from Boston anyway but I felt like I was talking to my family members from Revere and Everett
