Downton Abbey: A New Era review: Thin but crowd-pleasing
Live MintThe 2019 film Downton Abbey picked up where the British historical drama series of the same name, set on the estate of Downton between 1912-1926, ended in 2015 after five years and six series. This news prompts one half of the family—Lord and Lady Grantham, their daughter Edith, her husband Bertie, Tom Branson and his new wife Lucy —to journey to France to meet the new Marquis of Montmirail, to see the house and perhaps uncover the mystery behind it all. The arrival of the crew, the process of filmmaking give senior butler Carson much cause for concern, the old Lady Grantham plenty of opportunities to deliver caustic one-liners and great thrills to the staff waiting on the movie stars. With the arrival of talking pictures, silent movies are being sidelined, and with a movie being made at the house, members of the legion of Downton Abbey staff find new and unexpected roles.
