Just as there’s comfort food, we can also say there are ‘comfort films’, and that Downton Abbey: A New Era would certainly qualify as belonging in that sub-category.

Besides providing well-calibrated fan service to those who have followed the TV series over its numerous seasons, this Downton film has writer Julian Fellowes making certain every well-loved character from the series is given their respective turn in the film’s spotlight, and that plot twists will keep us glued to the screen, as several story strands bring newfound resolution to the lives of the various characters.

Two distinct and delightful story strands make up the film’s exposition. One has to do with the fact surfacing that’s there’s a luxurious villa in the South of France that matriarch Violet has inherited from a mysterious Marquis. And so her son Robert , accompanied by a party of family members, sail off to discover what that’s all about.

I admitted earlier that I’m not one of the Downton faithful; but if there’s one thing I found off-putting with the film, it’s the editing and pacing. It all seems rather hurried and abrupt. Issa confirms that there’s a more languid pace in the series, that allows the characters to breathe and for things to develop organically. Here, it’s like the movie is operating under a stop watch. And I’m curious as to why this happened.
