From my favorite movies..

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Absolutely Fantastic

First, I watched this on Netflix and their description was not accurate: "A woman disguised as a man and working in a posh 19th century hotel reconsiders her charade when a handsome painter arrives on the scene." So I'm thinking funny love story with some tense drama and a happy ending. I did not laugh, smile, frown or feel any emotion at all while watching this. I cry over roadkill so if a movie can't evoke an emotional response from me, even when a sympathetic main character dies, there is a problem. This movie was as flat as Glenn Close's over injected face. I kept waiting for this movie to make some kind of sense. When Albert was telling Hubert her story, I figured it out. This film is not for entertainment, it is a sermon. As a movie watcher and societal participant, I am sick to death of being nudged into this "men are responsible for all of the evils in the world" view, which over the past half century, seems to have infiltrated our society. Almost every single male character in this production (even those not on screen) is a physically abusive, alcoholic womanizer. Was there not one man on Earth in the 19th century that wasn't a substance abusing, psychotic rapist? Even the good doctor couldn't keep his face out of the bottle and his hands off the poor maid. Hollywood, if you're listening, I think we've covered this. Let's move on please unless of course your goal is to create a whole generation of self loathing men who feel guilty about being alive. Perhaps I could have tolerated the obvious man hating if the story made sense and didn't leave me worrying about the welfare of Mia Wasikowska's character. Creepy isn't a creepy enough word to describe the ending.Here's a more accurate description. If anyone working at Netflix is reading this, feel free to use it. "An abused woman disguised as a man working in a posh 19th century hotel meets another abused woman disguised as a man who is married to a woman, decides to get married herself by deceiving another abused but much younger pregnant woman into marriage in order to staff a fictional tobacco shop."

To be completely fine, I didn't even end up watching the whole trailer of this movie. I was already so excited about it ! The idea of this waiter being a woman undercover, and than seeing him discovering that he wasn't the only one...it all sounded amazing for an amazing story, that wasn't develop. I really expected much from the plot itself that, I need to say, was poor! The fact that ONLY at the end everyone discover that he's a woman...well that should have been the center of the story, but basically it ended up being a secondary element that we get to remember when he talks with Mary and when he's by himself. I really liked the first scenes though, if you do not watch the trailer in advance, as I silly did, you can never expect this sudden revelation !

From a casual observer's point of view, there's no way that Glenn Close of Janet McTeer (who both play women posing as men) could pass as the opposite sex... but that's not really the point, is it? If you can suspend your disbelief, their performances are very good... they have the mannerisms, the voice, the attire down perfectly. I just find it difficult to believe, in real life, an individual with no visible facial hair and such feminine features would fool anyone into thinking they were another gender, unless they were very dense. Oh well, a moot point... but one I make regardless.This is late 19th century Ireland, when women's options seemed to consist of stay-at-home mothers, prostitution or servitude. Albert Nobbs is a female who, because of an unfortunate incident when she was 14, decided to become a man. Alas, transgender surgery was a good few decades away... so she has no choice but wear a fancy get up with lots of padding each day to carry out this facade. Her scheme seems to be going well... she's been working as a butler for many years, and has nearly saved enough to buy her own little shop. The jig is up though, when the local painter accidentally sees her undressing. She is naturally distraught... but hold on... the colour dauber may have a few secrets of 'his' own...Poor, poor Albert Hobbs. She can just about carry across the illusion she's a fella... but has no idea about the way the rest of the world works. Just watch her attempts to woo a pregnant maid into matrimony... there's no way this shy, awkward, much older 'man' could end up with someone so young and pretty... particularly as she happens to have a boyfriend already. A violent and jealous one, at that. It all ends in a confrontation with tragic consequences... and a conclusion which is the very definition of bittersweet.So, don't expect a feel good time... but do look forward to a thoroughly engaging historical drama. 7/10

Disappointing film and performances. It's an all around mess. Glenn Close, whom I expected to be in top form, let me down. She services the role and is successful to very short extents. She rocks the mannerisms and the voice, but I never really felt apart of Albert's journey. Close distanced herself from the story (maybe the problem is the writing isn't handled with the intelligence it needed to be). The main problem is the screenplay; the script is way too thin to be dealing with the thickness of the subject matter it tries to tackle. The directing is dreadful. The direction makes the film jaded like a broken piece of glass. Near the middle there's a cruel plot that is set up that draws you into the story slightly, but barely keeps you interested. It's just a really bad attempt at making a thought-provoking film.Rating: 3/10Grade: D+
