Downton Abbey

"...the cinematic equivalent of Brexit, if only it was that thought provoking."

"Taking Downton uptown has resulted in an entertaining and satisfying romp."

"Watching it is like settling into a reupholstered armchair which still creaks in the same old places."

"Fans of the enduringly popular ITV period drama series will no doubt embrace this feature film spin-off, which represents a step up in lavish visual spectacle while retaining a comforting familiarity of themes and storytelling style."

"Gentle, unchallenging drama for people who already know they like it, this is a nostalgic and rosy depiction of an England that was, surely, never so innocent."

"Satisfyingly sumptuous."

"It is at all times ridiculous - but, I have to admit, quite enjoyable."

"[T]his journey to the past may end up feeling ultimately less nostalgic than backward-looking."
