Such a sad, sad story. Glenn Close stars in one of her best performances, as a woman living as a man in order to keep a job as a butler and waiter in a Dublin hotel. This is not a life choice she is suited for. She isn't a lesbian and indeed seems to possess no sexuality. She lives in constant dread of being discovered. The film's breath of life comes from Hubert Page (Janet McTeer), a rough-and-ready house painter, who briefly shows Albert her own happy life as a woman passing for a man. But there will be little happiness in life for Albert; she can't imagine it. - Three stars
