CRITICS OF "Albatross"

Shadows on the Wall

Beautifully filmed and acted, but lacking a central perspective.

October 20, 2011

Resource

NPR

The lack of subtlety makes the story's familiar beats only more obvious.

January 12, 2012

Resource

The Skinny

A serving of teenage angst with a side order of syrup which, like the films of John Hughes, treats both characters and audience with respect and affection.

January 26, 2012

Resource

BrianOrndorf.com

There are dimensions to Emelia that are welcome, but often rudely condensed by director Niall McCormick, who burns through the picture in 85 minutes, never lingering long enough on domestic tension or behavioral awareness.

February 29, 2012

Resource

Slant Magazine

Yes, the title of Albatross is a metaphor. In fact, the eponymous bird shows up not as a figurative chokehold around the neck of simply one character, but at least three.

January 08, 2012

Resource

Cinemalogue.com

Newcomer Brown Findlay brings some laughs and energy to an otherwise predictable tale of family strife that is modestly compelling but ultimately forgettable.

January 20, 2012

Resource

Empire Magazine

A startling performace from Findlay doesn't quite make up for a disappointing third act.

October 18, 2011

Resource

Birmingham Post

German star Koch (The Lives of Others) has a Burton-lite intensity, with Julia Ormond well cast as his wife and Beth's mother.

October 19, 2011

Time Out

Innocence is lost -- as well as 90 minutes of your precious, precious time.

January 10, 2012

Resource

New York Times

Charmingly low-key, the British coming-of-age drama "Albatross" offsets slack plotting with creative casting and sensitive performances.

January 12, 2012

TIME Magazine

The performances are compelling (although Jones is underused) but the thin narrative is less instructive of the strange way female friendships operate than of the way stories get recycled.

January 12, 2012

Resource

Village Voice

Albatross shifts from indie fairy tale to farce, only to accept its fate as a coming-of-age melodrama.
