DOWNTON ABBEY: THE GRAND FINALE In
Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale we find the Crawley family and their staff as
they enter the 1930s. When Mary finds herself at the center of a public
scandal and the family faces financial trouble, the entire household grapples
with the threat of social disgrace. The Crawleys
must embrace change as the staff prepares for a new chapter. An elegant and most satisfying farewell to
this beloved series. A breezy, witty
and sparkling drama with a terrific ensemble cast lead by Michelle Dockery
who gives a moving, Oscar-worthy performance. |
ELEANOR THE GREAT After the death of her best friend
and roommate Bessie, Eleanor moves back to New York City to live with her daughter.
Her daughter convinces Eleanor to attend music classes at the Manhattan
Jewish Community Center, but instead Eleanor winds up in a support group for
Holocaust survivors. Encouraged to tell her story, Eleanor decides to tell
them Bessie's story, passing it off as her own. Journalism student Nina is
enthralled by the story and wants to feature Eleanor in an article, but she
declines fearing repercussions. As the two form a bond, Nina persists and
eventually Eleanor agrees to an interview. Eleanor the Great is a poignant
and moving film with June Squibb giving one of the best performances of her
long career. Directorial debut for Scarlett Johansson. |
