Critic Reviews of "Albatross"
New York TimesJanuary 12, 2012Charmingly low-key, the British coming-of-age drama "Albatross" offsets slack plotting with creative casting and sensitive performances.
NPRJanuary 12, 2012The lack of subtlety makes the story's familiar beats only more obvious.
TIME MagazineJanuary 12, 2012The 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.
Village VoiceJanuary 10, 2012Albatross shifts from indie fairy tale to farce, only to accept its fate as a coming-of-age melodrama.
Time OutJanuary 10, 2012Innocence is lost -- as well as 90 minutes of your precious, precious time.
BrianOrndorf.comFebruary 29, 2012There 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.
The SkinnyJanuary 26, 2012A 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.
Cinemalogue.comJanuary 20, 2012Newcomer Brown Findlay brings some laughs and energy to an otherwise predictable tale of family strife that is modestly compelling but ultimately forgettable.
Slant MagazineJanuary 08, 2012Yes, 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.
Shadows on the WallOctober 20, 2011Beautifully filmed and acted, but lacking a central perspective.
Birmingham PostOctober 19, 2011German star Koch (The Lives of Others) has a Burton-lite intensity, with Julia Ormond well cast as his wife and Beth's mother.
Empire MagazineOctober 18, 2011A startling performace from Findlay doesn't quite make up for a disappointing third act.
