As a longtime blog reader, you know my love for Downton Abbey. I was eagerly awaiting the release of the final movie, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. thanks to Focus Features, I was able to watch the movie from the comfort of my home. I am so delighted to be reunited with these beloved characters.
However, things are changing at Downton Abbey. It's the 1930s, and society is very different. Mary finds herself at the center of a public scandal, and Downton is facing financial trouble. This turmoil brings Edith and Mary closer together, which was heartwarming to see. Additionally, beloved characters Carson and Mrs. Patmore are retiring. Daisy and Andy have big shoes to fill! Mary wants to officially take the reigns of Downton, but after the scandal, Robert is hesitant to let her.
Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale even pays tribute to former favorites who are no longer with us, such as Matthew, Sybil, and, of course, Violet, whose grand portrait watches over Mary as she makes her decisions at Downton Abbey.
The movie also features the London season, which was exciting to see as high society brush elbows at opulant balls, and the ever popular Ascot race. As usual, the costumes were gorgeous!
I still remember the
first time I saw the sweeping views of Highclere Castle in person, and
those memories will stay with me forever. So, if you appreciate the
sweeping views of Downton Abbey, you won't be disappointed with the
gorgeous setting depicted in the film as it was captured beautifully.
Fans of the series will love reuniting with their favorite characters. And don't worry—things are left on a high note. After 15 years of enjoying the show, it's bittersweet to see it all come to an end, but the final movie does a great job of wrapping things up and officially closing the book on Downton Abbey.
If you are like me, and would love to snuggle up at home to watch the movie, you can explore your options here; however, it's still playing in theaters, too. You can also learn more about the movie by visiting the Facebook, and connecting on Instagram and Twitter/X.
