Albert Nobbs: forever alone?

3

It’s great to want to be alone, or rather to be enough not alone that the chance to sit in an empty theatre for a couple of hours sounds like a heck of an evening. Some people, however, are so often alone that they become forever alone. This is what we’re dealing with in Albert Nobbs.

  • Impressive skills, and yet these guys are socially inept. I guess you can’t have it all. — Tess Shebaylo

  • Truly bizarre. While the aspect of dressing up like a queen appeals to me, the aspect of sitting through a bunch of frou-frou luncheons with normie moms does not. — Tess Shebaylo

  • Eh. The girls they chose to profile were interesting, but it wasn’t fun to watch their self-control issues piss off other campers for 90 minutes. The teachers and the metal chick WERE fun though. — Justin Morgan

  • Why does hollywood perpetuate the myth that girls love to kiss guys who have prickly unshaven sandpaper face? I have tried this and let me tell you that girls do NOT seem to love that at all. — Justin Morgan

  • The sense of humor in this movie is perfectly tuned to be out of phase with my sense of humor, so that though I could recognize that there were jokes, I laughed zero times. — Justin Morgan

  • This could have been so much better. All of the plot/character development happened off-camera, which at least made it a short movie. I’m conflicted! The play itself was funny. — Kelly Gerow

  • This was like watching a Hollywood version of an elementary school play — so terrible yet so endearing. — Kelly Gerow

  • I think the part of the sweeping epic film where the heroine gets married and has a kid is like the season of the high school TV series where they all go to college. It just isn’t quite the same. — Justin Morgan

  • I sort of recommend this because it’s neat to watch the submarine surface and because Tony Curtis is adorable, but I sort of don’t because its basic premise is that women are a pain in the ass. — Susan Howson
