This new feature film about the lives of a family scrapping to preserve their fortune, and those of the servants attending them, is explicitly designed as a balm for the aching hearts of those who loved watching the TV version. And, just like that series, the “Downton” film looks back even further than the early-to-mid-2010s, recalling a time of innocence and of understated glamour.
Similarly blithe-spirited are the lord and lady of the house , who make expressions of vague concern while remaining basically assured that the situation will sort itself out. And the Dowager Countess , more than ever a one-liner machine deployed to pick up the energy level regardless of whether her utterances track with the situation, is consumed by a feud with the Queen’s lady-in-waiting , who just happens to be a Crawley cousin.
As a series, “Downton Abbey” sprawled, giving viewers the drama and chaos they wanted before a season-ending resolution of conflicts. Here, there’s only time for the resolutions, even before the drama happens. So much of this film’s diffuse plot works this way, explicitly granting characters whatever had been their wish with only the most perfunctory of obstacles in their paths, that the greatest impression is left by the battle that’s hardest-won, on the part of the servants to help the royals.
It amazes me the horrible movies you like. You are completely ignoring the real star of the show, that fabulous house and all our memories with this magnificent cast.
Doth mother know you weareth her drapes?
I'm in awe of those outfits.
I have my tickets for tomorrow! I cant wait! I'm rewatching the last episode tonight to get ready for it!

'Ghostbuster' sequel to focus on a family of original filmThe upcoming 'Ghostbuster' sequel will focus on the descendants of the original ghost-catchers who rushed around New York City in proton packs and jumpsuits. So funny how bad the all female remake ruined the franchise Why not make a politically correct one like the last flop? I wonder if one of the descendants will be Sigourney Weaver's character's son Oscar.
