Albert Nobbs

Albert Nobbs struggles to survive in late 19th century Ireland, where women aren't encouraged to be independent. Posing as a man, so she can work as a butler in Dublin's most posh hotel, Albert meets a handsome painter and looks to escape the lie she has been living.
Wow. A really captivating and emotional movie! Glenn Close showcases some wonderful talent here; a really beautiful portrayal of the sensitive and timid Albert Nobbs. [spoiler]I can't help but wish this story had a different ending, however. Personally, I would have liked to have seen Albert with Mr Page and their shop. It bugged me that the snotty hotel owner ended up with the fortune![/spoiler] This is such an underrated movie and it really crept up on me, I wasn't expecting it to be such a charming story. Recommend!
