Albatross 2010


     Jonathan, Joa, Beth and Posey are living in and managing a seaside resort hotel on the coast of England.  Emelia ducks into the hotel after getting a ride home because she doesn’t want the driver to know where she really lives.  Beth mistakes her for a new cleaning lady and Emelia starts to work.  Jonathan is an author with severe writer’s block and he offers to teach Emelia about writing.  Emelia and Beth are opposites but both 17 years old and they strike up a friendship.
     I liked this movie and thought it was better than 2*?  There are a lot of complications, Jonathan’s family is very different from Emelia’s family.  She’s had a lot of hard knocks and lives with her grandparents.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)

90 min, Drama directed by Niall MacCormick with Jessica Brown-Findlay, Sebastian Koch, Julia Ormond, Peter Vaughn, Felicity Jones, Hazel Douglas, Katie Overd.

Note:  Blockbuster 2*, imdb 6.0 out of 10, 45% critic 41% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
