'Why does it keep changing mid-sentence?'

One follower wrote on Twitter, “I'm so thrown off by Rose Byrne's accent. Why does it keep changing mid-sentence?” The second user wrote, "Trying to watch #platonic, and it's so distracting how Rose Byrne's accent keeps flip-flopping between American and Australian.” Another user commented on social media, "I think they should cancel the Jacinda movie but we should still get to hear Rose Byrne's attempt at her accent." "Cute netong Platonic on Apple TV+ but I’m so thrown off by Rose Byrne’s accent. Why does it keep changing mid-sentence??" said another user. One user simply wrote, "I want to watch #platonic but I get too distracted by Rose Byrne’s accent jumping back and forth." Another amused fan said, "The Australian accent is the hardest to emulate, but the easiest to lose. Rose Byrne's accent in #Platonic is all over the place - a result of being an Aussie that's lived and worked in the US for years. My favorite example is when she says "can't" both ways in one sentence."
