Movie Review: The Crawlis – and his mother -in -law – get a loving sandoff in the last ‘Downon Abbey’

Whose waiting for? flat hunting? Grand Earl? Ok, yes, and this is the most entertaining scene “Duton Abe: The Grand Finale” ,

Just look at pride and starch Robert, trying to be open -minded, but this is completely provoked by this “flat” in which you cannot “go up” because there is no “up”. Well, you can go to the bed “with”, daughter Mary suggests, trying to make all this sound manageable.

But instead of maintaining a mansion in London, the possibility of flat-living-one is a thing that the crawls should consider as they run in the 1930s, forever around the corner with financial and social instability. “Families like us have to move forward to survive,” Mary says, Downon is relaxing on her shoulders with the future weight of Abe.

Here a note for those who come in the cold in the franchise: Okay, it is going to be quite difficult. Writer Julian Fellow and director Simon Curtis, the Crool Family Tree or Servant talks about mastery in the broader family, who know and love Duton’s fans. Even those who watched the first two films – the last in 2022 – may feel the need for a refresher.

We start in a show of Noel Coward, in West End, London, in which Douton residents of all levels participated. They are all there who sees dashing actor Gai Dexter, who asked former Butler Thomas Barrow to become his dresser in the previous film, and much more. It is good to see that Barrow is now happy, capable of living life as a gay person – even if Robert can not understand his relationship quite quite.

Meanwhile, Mary is shopping with sister Edith in London, and the importance of this scene is probably to remind us that the “Dawton” is the real star of the universe, after that magnificent house, is costumes. Mary finds a smooth red satin gown that is probably the most smashing outfit we have seen so far.

But when she puts it for the society ball, there is trouble. As the family comes, we learn that Mary’s divorce has come through the decree – and it means regret, that she will become a paria. The newspaper shouts of “divorce in high places”, and in fact, the hostess of the ball actually excludes Mary from the party because royalty is coming. Mary’s worried parents are angry – but they live, and their daughter leaves, asks that she hopes that a taxi will agree to take her.

Soon we are back in Douton, and there is a huge difference: now any violet crrol, aka Maggi Smith, with its ineligible style and those cheerful quips, ruled the hall. He died in the last film – and Smith died in 2024. But the film is dedicated to him by more than one way.

Apart from Violet, almost everyone is back, and we also have some new characters. Paul Giamati, happily, back from the TV show as Kora’s brother Herold.

Herold comes from America with some unfortunate news – he is far from his family fate. He is accompanied by friend gus, a beautiful and clever type – or it seems – who is advising Herold on his finance. Gus adopts his path in Mary’s good grace, and more – but he cannot be almost clever as he appears for the first time.

Then Simon Russell Belle is as a pompus hectare, which tries to capture the local tradition, but walks against Isobel, and noel cowardly as a fascinating Artic Art Fruce. The playwright Duton is the closest thing for a modern celebrity in the world – everyone wants to live with him, no difference nor gender, and he helps Mary to overcome his social shine.

Not being seen anywhere, Hugh is dashing Dansey, who played the role of a film director in the previous film. But the character who anointed the director as a screenwriter, Joseph Mollsley, is back, and Fellow must have enjoyed writing the line for him: “In many ways the author is the stars of cinema.”

To be honest, the script, from clever to extremely unhappy, or filled lines, “I think I will receive another cup.” But Kudos for Moment -in -Beefed Robert described the Newfound incident of an apartment building as “a layer cake of strangers”.

“Sometimes I think the past is a more comfortable place than the future,” someone says in a poignant moment. But what the last film wants to fans of Wafadar Douton: A satisfactory bit of closure and the future that the future, though is a little scary, may seem kind to Duton Abe until Mary is in charge. And until Smith’s violet, imposing in a front-hall portrait, looking from top to bottom.

“Duton Abe: The Grand Finale,” a focus features, have been rated by the Motion Picture Association, “PG rates for” thoughtful content, smoking and some thematic elements “. Running Time: 123 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.
