Season 3, Episode 4
9/10
From one Hungarian to another...
3 September 2020
My parents are Hungarian and I grew up around Hungarians. Hungarian accents in movies/shows never are close. Sometimes they are completely unrecognizable, like Kevin Pollak in "The Whole 9 Yards". Cate Blanchettes was awesome. I totally smiled when she said gas(gaz) correctly. Although everyone else mis-pronounced Budapest (Buda-pesht) which usually only happens if you have never been there. Also she talks about living in communist Hungary but they do not explain how she was able to do her art let alone how she escaped to travel all around Europe before the fall of the iron curtain. Still 9 points for nailing the accent and the ending.
