I had no idea what to expect going in, but the emotional twists and turns had me guessing where the story was going the entire time. The second half of the film really picks up and the dominos start falling, one after another! And what an ending, didn't see it coming!

This is one that will make you think!

Albatross is a stunning slice of cinema appealing to both the viewer's visual sensibilities and musings of the mind. It's themes are varied and provocative and director Myles Yaksich succeeds in communicating complex subjects in an elevated and intriguing artistic manner. Moments of comedy alleviate stronger themes with light-hearted reprise and overall the piece stylistically presents an opportunity to challenge one's own perspective's of the present by experiencing the questions of characters from another time.

Despite having complex and important social issues embedded into this film, love is the true driver of this piece as we watch 2 couples maneuver in a society that is unyielding to certain appearances. Sometimes a slice of life is exactly that. A slice, a peak into how people deal with circumstances and challenges in a world where there is no real right or wrong, regardless of what the popular opinion is.

This film beautifully displays struggles in different generations, different genders and different races and displays them for us to experience.

The actress playing Carol steals the show as she demonstrates the pain and confusion while maintaining a happy face throughout. Very rarely can an actor in such circumstances also become the comic relief as she lifts the film into lighter notes as if she were trying to protect the audience as she does herself.
