ALBERT NOBBS

ACADEMY AWARD NOMINEE! BEST ACTRESS & SUPPORTING ACTRESS

 Rodrigo Garcia's adaptation of an Irish short story is spare, quiet and surprisingly moving, with Oscar nominee Glenn Close delivering an astonishing performance as a 19th century woman who disguises herself as a man in order to work. A delicate, closely observed chamber piece, this affecting portrait of longing, lying and leading double lives in 19th-century Ireland sneaks up on the audience with the quiet discretion of the enigmatic protagonist at its center. A heady mix of sexuality, identity, class politics and romantic self-deception swirl throughout the movie. –Washington Post
