It's not very good, but it doesn't need to be.

The Australian

This movie is a pleasure to watch. It is beautifully shot (cinematographer Ben Smithard) and gloriously costumed (costume designer Anna Robbins).

Rated: 3.5/5

Katie Walsh

Tribune News Service

With its mix of old characters and new, worldly upheaval and small-town drama, Fellowes illustrates what “Downton” has always done best, which is a social examination of how much things have changed and how they haven’t changed at all.

Rated: 3/4

The Grand Finale doesn’t offer big booming fireworks, but the little pops and poots reverberate in every wall of the manor. As ever.

Loyal audiences would watch this ensemble perform the phone book, and Fellowes gives them a good bit more to work with than The Yellow Pages.

Such a good movie between scenery, characters and story. It was funny at times and sad at times because thats what life is through the years.
