Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Kirpianuscus a great actress becoming part of her role. a story who reminds many others. but , for this motif, it remains unique. and fascinating. because it is just a simple - great story. and nothing else. it gives the portrait of a character who preserves not only the air of the period but the entire fight of generations for the right to be yourself. but it escapes from the formula of social critic or manifesto. because it is a story of survive who becomes a delicate love story. this transformation is one of the huge good points of "Albert Nobbs". because it is more than inspired solution or the spice who gives credibility to the story. but, it is the perfect answer to the viewer expectation. short, one of the most impressive performances of Glenn Close. and more.

literaterose There are a number of thoughtful, excellent reviews of Albert Nobbs already, and I confess that I doubt I can add substantially to them. I did want to note that, unlike several other reviewers, I found the spareness of Albert Nobb's story, as embodied remarkably by Glenn Close, to be extremely compelling rather than empty or limited. It stands, literally and significantly, in vivid contrast to the towering (in every sense!) presence of Hubert Page, played so magnificently by Janet McTeer--and that's part of the point.And now having said the above, I did want to comment on one tiny element in an otherwise very well written and thoughtful review here, by chaz-28, in which that reviewer suggested that camera tricks and/or forced perspective must have been used to create the illusion of McTeer's Mr. Page looming over other characters... Ms. McTeer is 6'1" tall, quite tall enough on her own to do all the looming/towering necessary without any cinematic magic! (I have a pretty good sense of her height, having both a son-in-law and ex who are/were around the same height.) It's a little funny, considering the subject matter of the film itself, to realize how hard it is for folks--even those very impressed with the work--to imagine that a woman might be... well, big as a man!In conclusion... I wholeheartedly recommend this film. It's a stellar example of deep character exploration and development, embedded in a sturdy, engrossing story. More than worth the watch.

fedezucchi-rs To be completely fine, I didn't even end up watching the whole trailer of this movie. I was already so excited about it ! The idea of this waiter being a woman undercover, and than seeing him discovering that he wasn't the only one...it all sounded amazing for an amazing story, that wasn't develop. I really expected much from the plot itself that, I need to say, was poor! The fact that ONLY at the end everyone discover that he's a woman...well that should have been the center of the story, but basically it ended up being a secondary element that we get to remember when he talks with Mary and when he's by himself. I really liked the first scenes though, if you do not watch the trailer in advance, as I silly did, you can never expect this sudden revelation !

kosmasp I rented this and knew nothing about it. Just the title! I didn't even look who was playing in it! And it was the best thing that could've happened! If you can do the same thing (I always try to watch everything like that), do it! If you like a good Drama, this will satisfy you in every regard. I read afterwards that some people were up for Academy Awards (which is why I might have heard of the title or recognized it, before renting it) and it is well deserved! Albert Nobbs in particular is just breath taking (in more than one sense).That's why I won't go into any details of the story, something you will discover for yourself (hopefully) and something that is worth your time. And the story might not exactly develop in the direction you'd expect. Or does it? Find out if you haven't already
