"I don’t regret working with him. He gave me a great job opportunity and he was kind to me.” Hall added that she did not talk to Allen any more, “but I don’t think that we should be the ones who are doing judge and jury on this.” Her policy now, she said, “is to be an artist. I don’t think that makes me apathetic or not engaged. I just think it’s my job.”

"It is very unlike me to make a public statement about anything. I don’t think of myself as an actor-vist. I’m not that person."
Said Rebecca Hall, in "Rebecca Hall: I regret apologising for working with Woody Allen/The British film star issued a statement after accusations were made against the director but now says ‘I don’t think it’s the responsibility of his actors to speak to that situation’/‘I’ve had a wild, chaotic, beautiful life’: Rebecca Hall on race, regrets and learning to be herself" (The Guardian).

Good for her. Would that more actors recognized that they got to where they are based on someone else's words, not their own. Just because someone puts a microphone in their face doesn't mean they have something to say.
Closed Circuit (2013) was good, in the sense that I've rewatched it several times, from time to time. Rebecca Hall Eric Bana. I don't follow actor history.
Wow, and the dude still isn't even in office yet. I can't take all this winning
Took me a while to figure out what a "vist" is.
Six years after.
The obnoxious bit here is below the story, in the Guardian's lengthy declaration of war on Trump, again. "Pathetic" doesn't even cover that idiocy.
This is on a par with a 12 step process. Maybe she’s not necessarily doing a 12 step thing but it is a good practice I believe in general to revisit something we may have done or said that on reflection was done badly. It helps, I believe, to better “see things as they are”. If we want to properly imagine how things ought to be, we need, I need, to see things as they are first.
It matters if they like Trump. So is this really honest?
..."Actors, she now believes, should not feel pressured into taking positions on contentious issues.....because I don’t think it’s the responsibility of his actors to speak to that situation"
"It wasn't me, it was the pressure !" She asserted, without evidence.
'Responsibility' ? Try 'None of your damn business, lady'
Too much “things ought to be” going on, without any emphasis on the capacity to see things as they are to begin with.
So she allows them to append her statement with a long appeal for money to fight Trump’s “fascism.” You can’t polish that turd. What an immoral poseur.
I can’t find any internet reference but I believe Hall had some chin work done.
she wasn't great in the godzilla film, but otherwise,
Tina, The Guardian does that at the end of every article. Not specific to this one. I agree it's very tiresome. But well done her for apologising. Better late, etc.
With neck like that she could be cast as E.T.’s mother.
Since art is sacred, it is okay to sin if you make it.
Rebecca Hall, Annie Hall . . . it's hard to keep up.
Second thoughts on the lynching.
To an extent, this feels like culture de-wokeifying. A lot of the problems with wokeness isn't necessarily the beliefs but the tactics people engage in to promote those beliefs. Cancel culture looks like mean girl bullying where everyone tries to dogpile on someone.
Oh her. I remember her from the 3rd Ironman movie and Takes from the Loop. That is the extent of my opinion.
This particular actress got to where she is because of who her parents were. A legacy luvvie.
Another Hollyweirdo.
She's a marvelous example of assimilation and the melting pot. In photos, though, her white British father and her white American husband have a darker skin tone than she or her African-American mother.
I don't know how she feels about Woody or if she changed her mind about him, but she regrets piling on. That's a common feeling in the age of the internet. More people should share that feeling -- or have no reason to share it.
Wow! I didn't initially see the anti-Trump tin can banging "appeal" at the end because Brave just sees it as "advertising" and suppresses it. But I turned off protections so I could check it out and hoo-whee, that's some serious nonsense. Good for scaring old age pensioners out of their cash, I guess. January 6! Project 2025! Oh dear!
Tina, since you brought up Trump as a non-sequitur, care to expand?
When her publicist agreed to the article, she knew perfectly well the anti-Trump screed would come right after it. It’s been up there in one form or another for quite some time.
Crazy hot in 'Prestige.'
