Most helpful review Gosford Park

  • Listen to the critics, not the public!

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    The critics loved this film and the puclic hated it. It's easy to understand why if you read some of the reviews by the professionals. They described it as very funny, sophisticated, clever etc etc and to be honest this film is a little over the head of Joe Public who went to see it expecting laugh-a-minute jokes and obvious humour. This is an incredibly subtle film and the humour isn't the sort that will appeal to the mass market. It comes almost as much from what is not said as what the stars actually say. The detail of the film and the quality of the acting is top notch and I can't recommend this film highly enough to a cultured viewer.

  • Good watchable stuff apart from Fry!

    Rated - 3.5 stars

    Good all rounder with great actors, fantastic sets and costumes. But oh dear who on earth thought it a good idea to cast Stephen Fry as a detective. He was rubbish and turned the whole thing into a comic send up. Such a bad idea.

    Great cast set in a magnificent house in the golden olden days. Brilliant acting from everyone it's a shame the story was a little run of the mill but it's definitely good to see how everyone lives in the house from the high classes to the low.

    I loved the film, the cast was great and all of the characters were memorable and unique. Plot wise it was a little bit on the cheesy side for me, a bit of a cliched whodunnit, but was very enjoyable nonetheless.

    Time flew whilst I was watching it and it really didn't feel like 2hrs+, I would actually have liked it to have been longer and I would have loved to have seen the characters in even more depth.

    Well worth watching.

    This was so disappointing. I was really looking forward to watching this film as I love Downton Abbey and Gosford Park was written by Julian Fellowes as well. It was so dull I fell asleep twice. What a total waste of an extrordinary cast.
