About
Albert Nobbs

What could have been an interesting take on gender and politics winds up a toothless affair with a showy performance by Close. For a better take on this kind of subject look up Maggie Greenwalds' 'The Ballad of Little Jo" which really had something to say. The blandness of 'Nobbs' sinks the picture especially its mostly lifeless cast save Janet McTeer who owns every scene she's in. Garcia continues to underwelm.
