  • Must Go!

    Albert Nobbs

    The film was very sensitive, thought provoking and gripping. Very adult subject matter but extremely well done with outstanding acting, setting and cinamatography.
    An extraordinary film!

    This movie touches you on so many different levels. Its great cinematography, gripping story and excellent acting make it one of this years best movies. Glen Close is completely beilievable as Albert. Her character is outstanding and there are several lessons to be learned in this story, from human kindness and understanding to humility. A little long at just under two hours but I never looked at my watch once.

    Albert Nobbs

    Not a movie for everyone. If you enjoy superb acting, with little bit of humor, some drama sprinkled in, some periods of sadness and good character studies in a period piece, you will thoroughly enjoy this movie. I predict that this movie will become a study piece for all Actors' Studio participants.

    I can not remember in recent times having seen on the screen or on the stage anything like this production and historically it must be treated in a class by itself as there is nothing previously produced that it can be compared to.

    I realize that this was not an expensive film to make, but the fact that any financing for it was made available is remarkable in today's financially restrictive environment.
