This movie's tribute to the series was grand, beginning with the premise - Downton gearing up for a royal visit. The writing was splendid. There was exquisite attention given to each of our favoured characters (I asked myself before the show, "Who is my favourite character?", but, as each one made their way into the story I realized my fondness for each.). The twist was clever (as someone remarked, it was UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS meets DOWNTON ABBEY). But, for most who came to the theatre, it was simply the celebration of a beloved series, that we all still miss. Because of my affection for the series and the movie, I'm tempted to rate the film 10 (perfect) out of 10, but, instead, I will give it an 8.5 (grand) out of 10. [Historical fiction]
