Robert Altman, one of America's most distinctive filmmakers, journeys to England for the first time to create a unique film mosaic with an outstanding ensemble cast. Set in the 1930s, Gosford Park brings a group of pretentious rich and famous together for a weekend of relaxation at a hunting resort. But when a murder occurs, each one of these interesting characters becomes a suspect.

Critics Consensus

A mixture of Upstairs, Downstairs, Clue, and perceptive social commentary, Gosford Park ranks among director Altman's best.

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.

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.

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.

A masterclass in narrative plate-spinning from Robert Altman and his feast of a cast.

Not exactly a "comedy", even a dark one, but suffused with a tart, ironic wit.

4/4

A beautifully acted, intricately made, and delightfully critical picture that nonetheless locates moments of humanity in a debased class system.

Man this movie was long.. it was very hard to keep track of the characters.. I can see how some people who are into dramas and complex relationship dynamics would be into this movie, but damn I was pretty bored

Excellent movie, quite complex with a long build up but it all pays off in the end. Very high quality everything!

When I watched this film, I couldn't understand the character relationships. The gentle male characters look a little the same to me. But their relationship is so complicated. When someone stays close or chats with lower sound, I begin to think maybe they have an affair. Astonished by the irresponsibility of the owner of the house, and how many ladies he forced them. Yet his legal wife does not respect him at all. He deserved it. I thought the new maid would be someone to utilize the opportunity to get into the house and find some secrets she wanted. But it seems that she is just young, innocent, and really could not find her way, but just bumps into many awkward scenes. Love the brilliant actors in the same scenes togethter, in their own characters.

The cast is huge, so it’s hard to keep track, but the twists sneak up on you — and when it’s over, you kind of wish it wasn’t.
