Everything, even the gender-bending, feels like a prop. For such a ripe story, Albert Nobbs is weirdly un-engaging and lacks any real urgency...

Cinesnark
Attentive but with an empty gaze, Albert Nobbs examines everything around him closely, with small and insignificant gestures. [Full review in Spanish]

Clarín
Rating: 2/5 --
At once stilted and melodramatic, this is a desperately ill-conceived adaptation of a fascinating story.
Little White Lies
3 stars out of 5 -- [T]he film features some really intriguing conflicts and solid performances throughout.
Box Office
Close's portrayal is as unsettling as the character....This may be the actress' most finely articulated performance...
Los Angeles Times
3 stars out of 4 -- This is such a brave performance by Glenn Close....Close never steps wrong, never breaks reality.
Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Here's a film that looks good, has production values to die for and an all-star cast who mostly make their mark.

Product Description:
Glenn Close co-wrote and stars in this period drama based on the short story THE SINGULAR LIFE OF ALBERT NOBBS by author George Moore, centering on the experiences of a 19th century Irish woman who poses as a man in order to work as a butler at an opulent Dublin hotel for the upper class. Maintaining her elaborate ruse over the course of two decades, Albert (Close) suddenly finds her dedication to the role challenged by the unexpected arrival of a painter who turns out to understand Albert better than anyone she could have imagined. Meanwhile, Albert finds her attempts to help pretty hotel maid Helen (Mia Wasikowska) thwarted when Helen becomes enamored with a charming but callous handyman (Aaron Johnson). ALBERT NOBBS played at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
