Albert Nobbs



What I liked:
  • Glen Close did a fine job acting and you could tell that this was a labor of love for her.  Close played this character in a stage production based on the book Albert Nobbs: A Novella by George Moore.
  • The supporting cast was made up of Janet McTeer, Mia Wasikowska, Aaron Johnson, Pauline Collins, Maria Doyle Kennedy, Brendan Gleeson, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and Bronagh Gallagher.
  • Beautiful lighting and set design.
  • I liked that Close co wrote the song "Lay Your Head Down" for the film.
What I didn't like:
  • The story was a mess.  It was boring and all over the place.  It didn't explain Albert in a way that we could sympathize with.  It left more questions then answers.

Grade: C+
