Albert Nobbs

                 

I loved this film. Albert Nobbs was played by Glenn Close and it is an Oscar worthy performance. Glenn played 'Albert Nobbs ' on stage in NYC 30 years ago. This is the story of a woman passing as a man in order to work and survive in 19th century Ireland. Albert Nobbs teaches us about life and companionship. Mia Wasikowska plays Helen, a maid who also becomes the object of Albert's wooing. Close is wearing a bowler hat which was a popular hat created in 1849. This type of hat was made for the working class during the Victorian era.  Two thumbs up.  I loved the story. Glenn Close co-produced and co-wrote the script.
