Summary of Albert Nobbs

In 19th-century Ireland, painfully shy butler Albert Nobbs (Glenn Close) hides an incredible secret: he is really a she. Terrified that someone will discover her true identity, Albert keeps a very low profile, until the arrival of Hubert Page (Janet McTeer) registers a sea change in Albert's life. Hubert is also secretly a woman, and has managed to find a partner who helps her maintain her masquerade. Hoping to find a similar arrangement, Albert begins wooing a hotel maid (Mia Wasikowska).

Wow.
What a fantastic performance by Glenn Close and Janet McTeer! I really find it hard to understand how they did not win an oscar. The story is compelling and extremely sad. I was really moved by it. I wish more films like that will be done.
Good performance by Glen Close. And that's it
This movie doesn't work (on many levels)as a period drama, and it's not very convincing either (Come on, it's obvious he's a she). The only good thing about it is Glen Close's performance that will surely grant her more than a few awards.
Likely to see
Not for me
