Kat Sachs Chicago Reader I could have watched several more hours of it, which is something I could essentially achieve by watching Downton Abbey, but I feel much more engaged in Altman’s care. Aug 28, 2025 Full Review Roger Clarke Independent (UK) I don't think I've ever seen the British class system of the 1930s so artfully dissected. It's all the more remarkable when you consider that Altman is a 76-year-old American -- albeit a Southern gent. A huge, huge treat. Rated: 5/5 Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Telegraph Staff Daily Telegraph (UK) Robert Altman's brilliant new film is part Upstairs Downstairs, part Agatha Christie, but mainly it is a piece of social observation as good as anything Altman has hitherto delivered. Nov 8, 2023 Full Review Farah Cheded A Good Movie To Watch A masterclass in narrative plate-spinning from Robert Altman and his feast of a cast. Oct 7, 2023 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending Not exactly a "comedy", even a dark one, but suffused with a tart, ironic wit. Rated: 4.5/5 May 28, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review A beautifully acted, intricately made, and delightfully critical picture that nonetheless locates moments of humanity in a debased class system. Rated: 4/4 Feb 14, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Meri S. If I hadn’t have watched Downton Abby I’m not sure how much I would have liked this film. DA gave me a better understanding of where the film was going. Stellar cast with quality period sets and costumes. And DA is based off of Gosford Park; same creator. Who knew? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Ben W Loved it. I'd remove Stephen Fry's cameo and substitute (not sure what bit of) Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Nigel W Unfortunately, this is Altman's most overrated film in my opinion. Boring, uneventful. Hard for me to accept these characters as muich more than fictitious beings prancing around to serve a purpose I did not quite understand. A bit pap to say the least Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/18/25 Full Review Nashville I. An old-timey way of filmmaking, Gosford is half murder mystery, half Downton. The cast is stellar…some of the better character actors of the last 20 years. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/17/25 Full Review Ian S Amazing cast with not a lot to do. Didn't add much to previous takes on the British class system. The first half was quite good but the last hour crawled by. Another seemingly overrated Robert Altman movie. Pretty standard fare about disaffected aristocrats and their trivial lives. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Anderson A O filme é muito bem dirigido, tem ótimos atores e belas atuações, mas como todo filme de época é sempre um pouco lento e sem muita emoção apesar que o plot final do filme é muito bom e a reação da mãe é genuína. 7.0 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
