Audience Reviews for Downton Abbey

  • Oct 01, 2019
    Enjoyed the TV series very much but the movie not so much. Wished I had a farthing for every time Lady Mary rolled her eyes. Fellowes tried to jam to much into the two hours and it just didn't click. Still so much better than the rest of the crap out there in cineplex land. (9-29-19)
