Downton Abbey (2019)
Downton Abbey (2019)
2019 | Drama, History
A highly entertaining distraction that continues the story of Grantham Manor seen on PBS. A cast of dozens take turns in the spotlight, but mostly Michelle Dockery, Joanne Froggatt, and Allen Leech get the screen time. The King and Queen of Great Britain are visiting the Yorkshire countryside and send word that they will be staying at Downton Abbey. This sends the manor house into a frenzy as preparations must be made and old conflicts get settled. Similar to Gosford Park, Julian Fellowes's earlier film on the happennings of the upstairs, downstairs crowds, a secret affair is revealed in time. A quality waste of time, but some of the plots are settled too quickly and some plots linger so long that a sequel may be written already.
