Albatross Ratings & Reviews
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
A bland, half-hearted attempt at humor and teenage angst that ultimately never gets off the ground.
BrianOrndorf.com
Brian Orndorf
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.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Newcomer Brown Findlay brings some laughs and energy to an otherwise predictable tale of family strife that is modestly compelling but ultimately forgettable.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Charmingly low-key, the British coming-of-age drama "Albatross" offsets slack plotting with creative casting and sensitive performances.
NPR
Ian Buckwalter
The lack of subtlety makes the story's familiar beats only more obvious.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
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.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
Albatross shifts from indie fairy tale to farce, only to accept its fate as a coming-of-age melodrama.
Slant Magazine
Andrew Schenker
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.
