Downton Abbey - A New Era
It was great!
This was very much a movie for the fans, and it very much felt like the end of road.
In the last movie the King's visit provided the central focus of the plot, here we had a less focused shooting a movie at Downton and the family inheriting a French villa.
To my mind I enjoyed the movie making but the villa story was quite a bore as it proved to be all a lot about very little.
As with any movie that wants to dot the i's and cross the t's at the ending of a franchise it necessarily becomes sentimental and self-indulgent. I think overall this element was handled brilliantly and we had an emotional rollercoaster.
I'm giving this a firm 7 outta 10, I'm a major fan so it's probably is a firm 6 lol.
