I watched it with my wife. The movie should be called Dinner at Downtown Abby. for the many dinners they dress up for. I wonder how the actors managed to keep their slim figures with all the reshoots, etc.

With a mix of old characters and new, worldly upheaval and small-town dramas, 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.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is as good as it needs to be, though like the other movies it’s probably a complete puzzlement to anyone not already familiar with the franchise, and creator/writer Julian Fellowes can’t resist having someone earnestly intone something about Things Change And We Must Change With Them every two minutes.

This final movie will give loyal Downton fans what they want: a satisfying bit of closure and the sense that the future, though a bit scary, may look kindly on Downton Abbey as long as Mary is in charge.
