Downton

[Toddlerteaplease]

Sitting in the cinema with Ben & Jerry's wishing the adverts would finish.

Oh god poor you my mum is dragging me there next week. How come you've had to go?

I really want to see Downton.

Loved it!

Bit entirely sure how Mary and Anna's children became strapping toddlers, in less than a year after their birth though!

I can't wait!

*not entirely

I loved it! A delight from start to finish. If you're a fan of the TV programme it's just a really long delightful episode. If you're not a fan you might not enjoy it as it's so gentle - even the dramatic parts are really tame. I banned DH from coming with me as I knew it would be easy to mock. But for me, it was fabulous 😀

I banned my DH too as he would have sat there joking around whilst I got my Downton fix! But DD and I loved it, a nice, gentle, easy watch and it made us wish it was still on tv.

Been waiting to watch this on the big screen.
Really enjoyed it.

Absolutely loved the film but cried at the end

It was unexpectedly really funny. I think I had some dust in my eye towards the end though.

Really looking forward to seeing it again with my friend next week. I went to the first screening st my local cinema this afternoon and there were only about a dozen people there. Everyone was audibly shocked at one if the storylines. It took me about 20 seconds to work out that She was the daughter!

I really enjoyed it. If you are a fan you'll enjoy it.
I loved the Barrow story line, although not sure how accurate it could have been ...

Although I know there is plenty wrong with the series, although I've always enjoyed it, I loved every minute of this. Yes, it was very funny and moving. There was clapping at the end in our highly cultured art house cinema and I joined in the two big glasses of wine may have helped. I would see it again tomorrow

Saw it tonight with DH, we absolutely loved it. Lovely break from binging Mindhunters on Netflix this week.

I have hated Thomas over the years but then I felt so sorry for him when he tried to "cure" himself. His storyline tonight brought a happy tear.

I hope they consider another one, I think they could take this as far as WWII.

I went yesterday aft with DD; we were the youngest in the cinema. Couldn't believe how many 60+ year-olds discarded their trays of Nachos and Costa cups on the floor.
I apologised (loudly) on their behalf to the young girl holding out an empty bin bag at the exit.
Anyway, loved the film; it was gentle, comforting and indulgent, just how it should be. Daisy had grown in confidence and Lady Mary looked completely stunning throughout.

Lady Mary's blue dresses were absolutely stunning and I loved Edith's head piece. Loved that Mary and Edith get on better. Mary calling Edith a 'devious cat' was hilarious. The age of the kids still annoys me though!

Was I the only person seeing massive red flags about Andy's jealousy?

No, I was hoping Daisy would give him the push. Princess Mary's relationship was also one that needed to end. Anna should not have spiked the chef's tea. I still enjoyed it though!

Loved how Tom had no idea who she
Was. I don't know if the relationship was that unhappy in real life.

According to their son it was a happy marriage .

Was I the only person seeing massive red flags about Andy's jealousy?

No - it's only a movie story line .

Princess Mary's relationship was also one that needed to end

And Princess Mary's marriage was really like . It was an arranged marriage and he was horrible. But she lived a life of "duty" so the marriage was never going to end.

I just don't get why people watch a movie set 100 years ago and then think the characters should behave like we do today.

"was really like that "

I also saw red flags. And Daisy thinking his jealousy was 'romantic' because it proved how much he loved her. very troubling tbh.

Wished Matthew Goode was in it a bit more!

Super red flag. Anyone messed with my hot water would be In Serious trouble.
