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).Product Identifiers

ReviewsSalon.com - Garcφa, previously the director of "MOTHER AND CHILD," "PASSENGERS" and numerous TV episodes (and the son of Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcφa Mßrquez), never feels entirely comfortable with the period or location, but for all its limitations ALBERT NOBBS has a puzzling undertow, and gets more involving the longer you stick with it., Charlotte Observer - Most movies about people passing themselves off as the opposite sex can't sustain the illusion, but "Nobbs" does.
