Dreaming of a tobacconist's life

Albert Nobbs (2011)

Directed by Rodrigo Garcia this film based on the short story “The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs” stars Glenn Close and Mia Wasikowska. In then 1890s a transman working as a waiter in a hotel dreams of buying a small shop and getting married.

While the events of this film are fairly predictable it is an interesting look at the life of a transman during a period when the issue was rarely spoken of. I enjoyed the film and it is well made but it could have been a deeper exploration of it's subject matter. There are good performances from the cast which carry the film.


4/5
