Movie Reviews

7 / 10

Just enough story

I’m glad I went to see it. Understandably, the film is constructed to please long-time Downton fans. There is a rather self-conscious effort to give some characters enough screen time to bid us farewell, so that we see Anna and Mr Bates or Mrs Patmore and Daisy in brief scenes not at all relevant to the story at hand. That’s fine, but I can almost imagine a producer standing behind the camera with a stopwatch to check off a box (okay, Mrs Crawley, we’ve reached your quota). Even the gone and departed appear briefly-Maggie Smith, Matthew, and one delicious shot of Sybil. Ge, I wish she hadn’t left the show. The storyline itself, emphasised in the trailer as a big scandal involving Mary, doesn’t have a lot of punch, to be honest, but I guess that’s not why Downton fans are here anyway. For my money, the worthwhile themes are a softening of class structure (Robert asking Carson for advice) and the virtual end of a centuries-long servant culture in Britain.
