Title: Slow, with an Unclimatic Plot
Review: While Gosford Park provides an excellent look into 1930s English country life, the movie moves very slowly and does not have much plot to it. Once the murdered occured, I had hoped the plot and the pace would pick up, but neither did. And while there are some great lines in the movie, they are not enough to keep things moving. The costumes are very well done and the set is great; both are done to period. However, the cinematography does not do them, nor the plot, justice. The music is beautiful. Hats off to Patrick Doyle for another job well done. If you're looking for a study of 1930s English aristocrats and their servants, Gosford Park is the movie for you. If you're wanting a period who-done-it that twists and turns and keeps you rivetted to the end...watch Clue. You'll find it much more enjoyable.
