B+
“Fans of the 온라인카지노추천 show can be assured that rather than reinventing itself for theaters, Downton has remained as steady and starched as Carson's collar. Think of it as an extended episode of the series that plays to its strengths.” –

“Pitt delivers an endearing performance. So much of the film is his face, his thoughts, his voice-overs. Following his terrific turn as Cliff Booth, the wry, rascally stunt man in Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood, this has been a banner year for the actor” –
