Movie Review - Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale
I missed the first two Downton Abbey movies, and I haven't watched Downton Abbey since the series ended so many years ago. So this was a real treat to be drawn back into the Downton-verse, but so many years later, both for me and the show.
I certainly wasn't disappointed, and I don't think any Downton fans will be either. Certainly, this isn't the best that cinema has to offer, but sometimes it's not about that. Sometimes, we just want to visit with old friends, and that's what this movie feels like.
I can only hope that they make at least one more, because that will place us night in the midst of WWII. I looked it up and George Crawley, Lady Mary's son, was born in 1921. That would make him 18 in 1938. How interesting and dramatic could that be?
