Dianne Robbins (1738 KP) rated Below Stairs: The Bestselling Memoirs of a 1920s Kitchen Maid in Books

Sep 3, 2018

Margaret Powell's memoir Below Stairs is growing up in a poor in money but rich in love with her family in a small village near London, England and her life in domestic service in the 1920s. It is simply wonderful. Her other memoirs Climbing the Stairs and Servants Hall and her Cookery Book are next on my list. It's more like listening to your favorite aunt sitting at the kitchen with you over fresh-baked cookies and glasses of homemade lemonade while retelling stories of her childhood and life in the early part of the 20th century. You HAVE to read it!. Julian Fellowes read her books and they were the inspiration behind the extremely popular BBC series Downton Abbey, that is watched by us in the states on PBS Masterpiece.

Outstanding!

This falls just short of a true masterpiece. I felt there was no need to reference bruce wayne in the film at all or show the death of his parents as most avid fans will already know the deal but i can see why this may have been done for a new audience. There were a few things that I love about this movie...you show this to someone who has never heard or seen it and you could believe it was a film made 20 even 30 years ago. The other is that even if you don't like comic book movies, you could still enjoy this as a film about a struggling man in society. Saw it twice and was just as mesmerising the 2nd time.

From start to finish it had me sucked in. Remi's performance made you feel. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the talent that Queen had/has. (0 more)

Too great for words

I took my 3 boys to see this incredible masterpiece. All three are under 10 and they were enthralled with it and cannot wait to own the movie.
Remi completely sucks you in. He was the perfect choice for casting. When Mary had to walk away or when Mary helped Freddie you could feel the pain. You wept for Freddie.
So much talent. It is truly a classic movie. When you leave the theater you have to smile because you just experienced a piece of history. You also leave with a brand new appreciation for Queen.
