IMDb plot summary: Albert Nobbs struggles to survive in late 19th century Ireland, where women aren't encouraged to be independent. Posing as a man, so she can work as a butler in Dublin's most posh hotel, Albert meets a handsome painter and looks to escape the lie she has been living.
Directed by Rodrigo Garcia. Starring Glen Close, Mia Wasikowska, and Janet McTeer.
While there are a couple of moments here that are interesting, and Glenn Close does an amazing job playing her character, the movie is seriously hampered by a pretty awful script. The acting is good and the story is compelling, but the script tells it in the clumsiest way possible. There is a huge amount of potential just thrown away. Disappointing.
1.5 stars.
