I don't think I've ever seen the British class system of the 1930s so artfully dissected. It's all the more remarkable when you consider that Altman is a 76-year-old American -- albeit a Southern gent. A huge, huge treat.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Nov 8, 2023

Robert Altman's brilliant new film is part Upstairs Downstairs, part Agatha Christie, but mainly it is a piece of social observation as good as anything Altman has hitherto delivered.

| Nov 8, 2023

A masterclass in narrative plate-spinning from Robert Altman and his feast of a cast.

| Oct 7, 2023

Not exactly a "comedy", even a dark one, but suffused with a tart, ironic wit.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | May 28, 2022

A beautifully acted, intricately made, and delightfully critical picture that nonetheless locates moments of humanity in a debased class system.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 14, 2022

The beauty of Robert Altman's Gosford Park is how it delicately balances the numerous storylines to create a wonderful mosaic of characters.

| Jul 24, 2020

For a film about homicide and class conflict, Gosford Park is surprisingly congenial.

| Sep 20, 2019

Gosford Park expertly melds comedy and drama, eventually adding a pinch of intrigue with a second-act slaying.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 22, 2018

The film's end is especially haunting in a way I didn't initially grasp, and though his two following films definitely have their merits, Gosford Park has rightfully earned a reputation as Altman's last great work.

| Dec 6, 2018

A riotously fun take on the murder mystery genre, and the finest of the director's late period works.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 26, 2018

Great fun and remarkably, at two and a quarter hours, not a minute too long.

| Jan 27, 2018

This a marvellously entertaining confection, served up with a wonderfully light touch

| Oct 17, 2017

Robert Altman brings his gift for big, sprawling dramas knit with a fine weave of characters and a massive cast up to the task of filling them up with lives to the Merchant Ivory idiom of the manners and manors...

| Feb 12, 2016

Wonderful British whodunit with some sexual content.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 24, 2010

Taking advantage of a splendid cast, a sharply focused script and the fresh English setting, "Gosford Park" emerges as one of the most satisfying of Robert Altman's numerous ensemble pictures.

Gosford is fine, well-groomed entertainment, but the road it takes has already been well paved.

| Sep 29, 2008

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 27, 2007

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 30, 2006

Masquerading as a whodunit, Gosford Park is really an intricate examination of the rigid English class structure that started to transform between the two world wars.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 1, 2006
