Meanwhile, the divorce of Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) creates a lot of pearl-clutching in the community: How scandalous to have a divorced woman in their midst!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The news about the divorce seems to follow Lady Mary everywhere, and she finds herself snubbed by the people she once considered \u201cfriends.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Back to charm the other characters, and the audience, is actor Guy Dexter (Dominic West), who is starring in a London play by Noel Coward (Arty Froushan), who should earn, at the very least, an Oscar nod for his pitch-perfect performance as the charming playwright.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">I never watched the television series, so I can tell you first-hand that you don\u2019t need to be familiar with the program to enjoy these films. This is lush, old-school storytelling, without violence, chase scenes or profanity. Its focus is on the characters\u2019 dialogue and manners. In a Downton Abbey movie, a single glance can silently communicate the equivalent of three pages of dialogue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Everything about the ensemble is enjoyable. with capable actors and terrific plot lines.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It\u2019s a grand finale that deserves to be seen on the big screen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">4 stars<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Rated: PG for sexual situations and drinking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Running time: Two hours and three minutes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In theaters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Watch the trailer <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/video\/vi1904723993\/?ref_=tt_vids_vi_2\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:here;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><i>Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
