Gosford Park

Watching Gosford Park is the answer to many of life's small-scale problems. Were you unsatisfied by the latest Knives Out and/or much of Downton Abbey? Do you miss Maggie Smith? Are you someone who prefers rain but you live in a drought-prone region? Etc.

Gosford Park is Robert Altman for people who like Agatha Christie via Jean Renoir but actually none of that matters because it's just a great movie with a truly epic cast. 2001 was an amazing year for movies and I rewatch lots of those films but I find many people slept on this one, perhaps because its smooth edges felt out of step with the times. It's been my honor over the years to squeal at anybody who tells me they've never seen it. Please enjoy.
