Review

Glenn Close does her best Victor/Victoria in the gender-bending drama Albert Nobbs (2011). Albert (Close) first disguised herself as a man to become a butler in one of Dublin’s poshest hotels, and over the years has protected her secret by never getting close to anyone. But then Albert meets Huber (Janet McTeer), who as it turns out is also packing a poon in his/her pants. Not only does Huber “pass,” she’s happily married to a woman, giving Albert hope that she isn’t doomed to die alone. So Albert starts romancing Helen (Mia Wasikowska), a maid at the hotel where she works, but there’s just one problem- Helen’s already shacked up with hunky painter Joe (Aaron Johnson).

Glenn Close might be dressed like a dude, but you’ll know better when her right breast pops out of her corset 18 minutes in. Plus, Janet McTeer reveals her secret in dramatic, tit-flashing fashion at the 28-minute mark. You’ll be handling your Nobbs.
