PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
"As directed with grit and grace by Rodrigo García, this quietly devastating film goes bone-deep (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)

----------------------------------------
"As an experiment in Academy Award psychology, "Albert Nobbs" is fascinating. As drama? It is, forgive us, a drag" (John Anderson: The Wall Street Journal)
----------------------------------------
"Though this period drama is meant to be thought-provoking and prompt intriguing queries about gender, it leaves too many questions unanswered (...) Rating: **1/2 (out of four)" (Claudia Puig: USA Today)
