Critics Consensus

Soothing as a cup of tea while providing a satisfying amount of closure, The Grand Finale is a worthy sendoff for Downton Abbey.

Always sartorially impeccable, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale delivers a satisfying and heartfelt closure to our beloved saga -- a farewell truly befitting the Crawleys.

Peter Travers

The Travers Take

The world of “Downton,” as fantastical as Camelot, celebrates an ideal of civility that is foreign for today’s tech bros and one-percenters. Good reason to honor the cast and crew of this final cinema remembrance for the pleasure of their company.

Rated: 3.5/4

Observer (UK)

It’s all tiresomely fatuous, coasting along on the familiarity of the characters and fabulousness of the frocks. On this, at least, it doesn’t disappoint.

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

It's like a comfy old pair of slippers and it's wonderful to see the gang all back together one last time. A wonderful tapestry of story lines that are beautifully woven together.

American audiences have long proven that they draw immense pleasure from watching wealthy Brits go about their well-heeled business. This is a comedy that respects its characters and is willing to honor traditions. There is a lot going on in this edition.

It would be unfair to claim this closing film concludes on a whimper. But neither is it quite the grand finale the title would have us believe. More like a pleasant stroll with characters you know and love.

Rated: 3/5

The wrapped up the movie trilogy and the overall franchise story very well. I literally LOL'd at a few scenes. The storyline itself was very grounded and realistic, which I appreciated. It's also fairly easy to follow along with if you havent see all of the episodes and previous two movies. It wasn't too hokey or cheesy...it was poignant, endearing, funny, and sweet. The cinematography itself was also very beautiful. If you are a fan of the franchise you wont be disappointed.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I never saw the show, or the prior movies, but I accompanied someone to this, and I'm now very interested in the series. The characters seems genuine in this movie, and the period based elements are cool to experience.
