About this movie

Based on the short story by Irish author George Moore and nominated for 3 Academy Awards, ALBERT NOBBS is "a lovely and surprising move." (A.O. Scott, The New York Times) Award-winning actress Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs) gives a "powerhouse performance" (New York Post) as a woman who passes as a man in order to work and survive in 19th century Ireland. Some thirty years after donning men's clothing, she finds herself trapped in a prison of her own making. Mia Wasikowska (Helen), Aaron Johnson (Joe) and Brendan Gleeson (Dr. Holloran) join a prestigious, international cast that includes Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Janet McTeer, Brenda Fricker and Pauline Collins.

Loved every moment of it. But for the subject matter, it feels like a work of the era in which it is set. Of course, a work on such a subject would never have been published then, but I'm glad this one was. Thank you, Glenn Close! That was an extraordinary piece of work.

Refreshing & Original. I very much enjoyed this film. The characters were distinct and the story kept me interested. The era in which it's set is very appealing to me. I like that it wasn't some remake of a tired, redundant script.

This is a waste of time and money. The movie looks good but it stops downloading and will not let me try again.
