Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

martin-fennell Altman is at his best in this suberb mix of comedy, drama and mystery.Maggie Smith steals the film, but not effortlessly. There are terriffic performances from Helen Mirren, and Eileen Atkins in particular, but the cast all give fine performances

Maria Trim I was looking forward to this, and bought the DVD and when it arrived was full of excitement to see it, because it had such great reviews. Perhaps i was spoilt as i had not long binge watched, downton abbey, upstairs downstairs 1976 and the recent one in 2010 set in the same period as Gosford Park. I found the beginning so confusing. It took me a little while to understand what was going on and ages to realise that Sir William had a daughter it got kind of lost in confusion, the only saving grace for me was Maggie Smith. The plot slowly and agonisingly started to develop BUT 3/4 way in i wondered what I was watching. Was it meant to be serious? The same old banal issues with upstairs downstairs servants v masters etc. I likened it to:Downton Abbey Upstairs Downstairs 13 for Dinner by Agatha Christie Nancy Drew (the young maid worked it out) Inspector Clouseau (the bungling inspector played by Colin Fry)I did giggle at Colin Fry.I struggled to believe a maid would get a blouse dry if washed by hand at midnight so she could witness the randy maid with a member of aristocracy making nooky over a kitchen table.Since when did Americans have Valets Henry Denton was obviously playing a part? Lady Sylvia has an assignation with him and a glass of hot milk, yawn. I am sorry I really didn't enjoy it, it was so drawn out and confusing it did not keep my attention, and when Sir William was killed i thought oh goody something has happened. Its only then we find out that Sir William was a profiteer in the war and made woopee with the workers and had numerous children one of whom was a valet to one of the visitors at the shoot, and it turned out although he thought his mother had died she was actually Mrs Wilson the housekeeper who saw the photo of herself when she was young, and realised he was her son, but didn't bother to reveal herself. The only saving grace was Mary who worked for the countess of trentham (Maggie Smith) and Elise. I really did try to like this but alas it just made me switch off my brain. I think its because I wasn't sure what it was supposed to be, serious, funny, mystery it never seemed to find its place.

punishmentpark The English countryside atmosphere is established straight away, complete with a dreary rain shower in which the guests arrive. It was fun to see so many familiar faces, especially Maggie Smith from 'Downton Abbey' (which was made as sort of a sequel by the producers of this film - as I understand it). Laurence Fox (DC Hathaway in the TV-series 'Lewis') may easily be missed, since his part is very small. For the rest of them, just check the IMDb cast list.'Gosford park' is a somewhat chaotic movie. It's pretty hard to figure out who's who and what is exactly going on in all the nooks and crannies of the big estate, but if you stay focused, a first viewing should offer enough information to get the gist of things. There is of course a murder mystery, but not until late into the film. The most important themes aren't revealed until even later, either, so what remains for the bulk of the time, is the doings and dealings of the upstairs and downstairs population, which I found quite entertaining and intriguing to observe. The addition of an American movie director talking about making a detective film, was rather funny. And there's plenty more parts like that, of which I must mention Stephen Fry's detective character.Maybe the story is quite contrived, but it worked for me and Robert Altman's direction is always a pleasure to witness. There's a lot of fine acting here (of course), but I will probably never become a fan of Clive Owen; something about his presence is just plain dull to me.Good fun was had by all, so to say. 8 out of 10.

851222 Greetings from Lithuania."Gosford Park" (2001) has a great script, great actors doing great job, very well direction, cinematography, set design. The thing that i didn't like (well, not as much as previous aspects) was the story itself. It's kinda boring if you ask me. The pacing of this movie is very good, at running time of 2 h 14 min it drags only because of the story, but what's the most surprising script is great - dialogs are very well written and it's interesting to watch conversations by different characters (and we have A LOT of them in "Gosford Park"), but then again, story itself isn't that good as the script, it's drama with some mystery, and although i figure it out who was guilty, it's really not about "whodunnit".Overall, "Gosford Park" is drama with very engaging script (Oscar award), great acting, good pacing but the story suffers in my opinion. "Mucho do about nothing" if you ask me. Worth seeing once.
