DOWNTON ABBEY: A NEW ERA

Recommended. Immaculate again. Accents, costumes, charleston, going on holidays south in winter, not summer, voice cinema coming in. Lots of British sarcasm, top-notch dialogues, e.g.: "They are very French, the French, aren't they?" "They are meant to be." "Yes, they are. Poor things." As it's truly British, accents determine who belongs to which circle. The sound's recorded in Atmos and the picture's shot on locations in England, Scotland and France.
The finale is touching as each sub-story concludes.

PETITE MAMAN

Switched off. You must be really into watching child development to want to sit through this. To me it was just tedious. It may be liked by children actually, should be targeted at that audience.

Reviewed from the distributor's screener, cinematic reception might differ.
