Albert mention #2
From The Guardian: A life of Audrey Hepburn is also in the shops and depicts the star of Roman Holiday and Breakfast at Tiffany's as sleeping with several co-stars, including Albert Finney, while she was married. It also delves into her life in Europe under Nazi occupation and portrays an often lonely figure who allowed herself a piece of chocolate and a scotch each day.

A Good Year: Clips, official site and review
Yahoo! Movies have added several clips from A Good Year, including two featuring Albert:
• "Checkmate" -- Uncle Henry (Albert Finney) teaches young Max (Freddie Highmore) about wine over a game of chess. • "Tennis" -- Uncle Henry (Albert Finney) teaches Max (Freddie Highmore) how to learn from his loses. The official A Good Year website is now online at AGoodYear.com; the site currently has the trailer, film synopsis and photo gallery. From a review of the film at IGN: Freddie Highmore and Albert Finney are sweet in their father-son roles. In fact, watching the elder Finney play off of the younger Highmore, one wishes that they had been given more screen time. Posted on 1st October 2006

A Good Year reviews
More reviews of A Good Year; none seem very positive but they do include praise for Albert:
The first 20 minutes are wonderful, thanks to a flashback to Albert Finney as Max’s uncle, former owner of the chateau. (Daily Mail) And there is a gracious Albert Finney to recommend. He's in co-starring flashbacks spots as the banker's womanizing but loving uncle who teachers his nephew (played by Finding Neverland's Freddie Highmore) a few things about French wine and winning on the tennis court not to mention the business milieu. (Latino Review) NewsDay has an article about the reaction to A Good Year called 'Great divide for 'Good Year'. Posted on 15th September 2006
A Good Year at Toronto
A Good Year had it's premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival yesterday and the reviews have started to appear. The Hollywood Reporter has published a not too positive review of the film (read it here), there's no critique of Albert's performance, only the following Albert-mention:
And no one hires Finney to play one scene so you anticipate that Uncle Henry will appear in flashbacks to remind Max of what he has lost. Jam Showbiz has a write-up of what Russell Crowe said at the A Good Year press conference about making the film. Posted on 10th September 2006
