Albert's Speech

About This Movie

Albert's Speech is this quirky little gem that encapsulates the anxiety of public speaking in a fresh, comedic light. The pacing is tight, just 18 minutes, but it feels substantial, capturing the essence of that pre-speech dread. Albert, the introverted protagonist, brings a certain charm, and you can't help but feel for him as he navigates this minefield of social expectations. The humor is understated, almost awkward, which works well given the context. I appreciate how they use practical effects to enhance the setting without overpowering the narrative—it's all very grounded. Plus, the performances, particularly from the lead, have a genuineness that makes the whole experience resonate. It’s a slice of life that’s both relatable and entertaining.
