This film shows a few days in the life of the Grantham family and their close associates, well depicted in the series of the same name (2010-2015). In fact, I watched this movie afterward. I won’t say that I became a fan of the series, but the first two seasons were very good, then downhill (as often happens with TV shows). The series tells the story of the inhabitants of Downton Abbey from 1912 to 1926. Here I want to add a little clarification about the word “abbey” (it made me postpone the viewing endlessly, because it seemed that the film was about priests or inhabitants of the monastery). However, having already started browsing, and finding that this was not the case, I started looking for information. It turns out that at the time of Henry 8, when Protestantism was declared in Britain, everything related to Catholicism was either destroyed or distributed to noble aristocrats (if the characters of the film were named Downton, this would mean that their ancestors were personally acquainted with Henry 8). But I got distracted. I found the film a bit boring. I kept catching myself thinking how people who haven't watched the show feel. I think he left them indifferent. The film is made for big fans of the series and it’s sad. A lot of attention is paid to the adventures of minor characters (for example, Thomas and Daisy), whereas in the series they were cross-cutting characters - their personal lives remained off-screen. Probably, the writers had to sweat to reproduce a little interesting short (by the standards of the series) story within the given framework. But was it worth it? .
