 Rating: 4.0/5.0 |
It’s the continuing adventures of the Crawleys (Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern), the wealthy English proprietors and their servants of Downton Abbey. In this second film based from the TV series, the new era has begun, as the Crawleys have found that Countess Violet, AKA Granny (Maggie Smith) has inherited a French villa through mysterious circumstances. At the same time, a film crew arrives at Downton, to shoot a silent film that halfway through production has to convert to a talkie, aided by Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery). The Crawleys head to France with loyal butler Carson (Jim Carter), while the film crew rolls on.
