All fans of the show will love this feature length sequel, as I did, providing comedy, drama, scandal, and magnificent costumes in the glorious settings, and I'm told that you can enjoy this movie even if you're not well acquainted with the series. Pretty much the whole cast from the final season returns and a few new characters join them.
Michael Engler directs from a script by series creator Julian Fellowes, and Emmy-winning composer John Lunn returns as composer with The Chamber Orchestra of London. The soundtrack can be streamed now on Apple Music and more.
The costumes by Anna Robbins are worth the price of admission, as well as production design by Donal Woods and cinematography by Ben Smithard, with Britain's familiar Highclere Castle in many exteriors.
Smithard was last blogged for The Man Who Invented Christmas.
Jack didn't watch the series so passed on joining Mark and me on September 25, 2019. Rotten Tomatoes' audiences rate it a predictable 94%, while its critics are not quite as enthusiastic, averaging 84. I see that there are a few screenings still in my area, but this will be released for the small screen just before Thanksgiving.
