What critics compared Albert Nobbs to
The film opens like a picture book, Janet McTeer's ("Albert Nobbs") stately narration lulling us into bedtime story land as we first spy the magical world Maleficent (Isobelle Molloy) calls her home.
That begins to slowly—very slowly—change once lovely Lou enters his world, after being hired by his concerned mother ( Janet McTeer of “ Albert Nobbs ,” adding what layers she can to an underdone part) and father (played by a Charles Dance , a few degrees warmer than usual).
