Sofia Carson called 'dreadful actress' for her 'bad acting' in Netflix's My Oxford Year: 'Even Corey Mylchreest couldn't save it'
What is My Oxford Year about?
My Oxford Year follows Anna De Le VAGA (Sofia Carson), an ambitious American who heads to Oxford to study poetry before starting a prestigious finance job in New York. There, she meets Jamie Davenport (Corey Mylchreest), a witty teaching assistant, and the two fall for each other despite starting off on the wrong foot.
Just as their romance deepens, Anna discovers Jamie is terminally ill and has chosen to stop treatment. What begins as a classic academic romance turns into an emotional journey about love, loss, and finding meaning beyond ambition. The film, based on Julia Whelan's novel of the same name, blends charm and tragedy, leaving viewers heartbroken.
Fans are slamming Sofia Carson's 'bad acting' online
My Oxford Year centres entirely around Anna's journey, placing much of the spotlight on Sofia Carson. As the emotional anchor of the film, Carson was meant to carry the weight of the story, but many viewers felt her performance fell flat. Critics and fans alike pointed out that her emotional scenes lacked depth, making it harder for the audience to fully connect with the character. Combined with what some called a weak script, her portrayal may have softened the overall impact the film was aiming for.

One user bluntly criticised the actress, writing, "Sofia Carson needs to start taking serious acting classes. My Oxford Year did not hit me as hard as it should have because her acting kept annoying me. She acts the same way for every character she plays. The acting always feels forced. I don't know how to describe it, but iykyk."

"It had some nice visuals, beautiful scenery, and a good amount of romance, but it lacked raw emotion. The storyline and ending felt rushed. Sofia Carson's acting was bad. Acting was weak overall. Btw, IT'S NOT A ROMCOM. My rating would be 5.5/10," one user said.

"I'm watching my Oxford year & they really should've cast someone other than Sofia Carson. Like, I just can't get behind her acting; she doesn't pull me in i can't get into any of her movies, which really sucks because I love romcoms, and I LOVE Corey Mylchreest so much," stated another disappointed user.

She's easily one of the Worst mainstream actres and has two worst performances in last year. My favorite time is when gays use this caricature emotion scene to justify that she can ACT when this style of acting would've got her worst actor award in the 90s and 00s pic.twitter.com/cacQGYOjK6

Royal Family "Reluctant" To Reconcile With Meghan Markle, Palace Insider Reveals Why
A recent report claims that the British royal family is hesitant to reconcile with Meghan Markle, despite being open to talks with Prince Harry. After Harry's aides met with King Charles' team, insiders revealed that trust issues remain the main obstacle in the royal feud, with Meghan reportedly at the centre of the problem. "They just don't trust her," a source told the Daily Express. The source added that the royals are wary of conversations with Meghan being used as material for her projects, such as her Instagram, cooking show, podcast, or interviews. According to the report, Prince Harry may travel to and from the UK alone, without his wife or their children, Archie and Lilibet. Notably, the Sussexes have been in a public feud with the Windsors since stepping back from royal duties in 2020 and relocating to the US. Their departure was followed by high-profile projects, including a six-part Netflix documentary, a revealing Oprah Winfrey interview, and Harry's memoir, 'Spare.' The memoir, released in 2023, became the fastest-selling nonfiction book ever, with Harry openly detailing the family conflicts within the royal family. The memoir also reveals Harry's strained relationships with his father and brother, Prince William, and how his marriage to Markle led him to fully step away from royal life. Since then, they have made only a few visits to the UK. However, recently, Prince Harry has expressed a genuine desire to reconcile, offering to share his schedule with the royal family for full transparency. "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight anymore; life is precious," he told the BBC in May. Meanwhile, another royal insider claims Prince Harry's chances of regaining the Royal Family's trust are slim after sharing intimate details in his memoir. The insider claims that the family now hesitates to confide in him, fearing he'll reveal more personal stories in a a second autobiography.
