Viewing Notes

Played out pretty much as expected. Perfect film for a flight and the senior set. My stepmom would love this movie. It’s kinda like Gosford Park without the murder mystery but with music. Great performances by terrific British actors but ho-hum story. But I’m all for Michael Gambon in everything.
