Plot Synopsis

Downton Abbey: A New Era‘s plot synopsis: “From award-winning creator Julian Fellowes comes the motion picture event Downton Abbey: A New Era.

On Movie Reviews and Film Critics

“Film criticism is the analysis and evaluation of films and the film medium. In general, film criticism can be divided into two categories: journalistic criticism that appears regularly in newspapers, magazines and other popular mass-media outlets; and academic criticism by film scholars who are informed by film theory and are published in academic journals. Academic film criticism rarely takes the form of a review; instead it is more likely to analyze the film and its place in the history of its genre or in the whole of film history.

Film critics working for newspapers, magazines, broadcast media, and online publications mainly review new releases, although they also review older films. An important task for these reviews is to help readers decide whether they want to see a particular film. A film review will typically explain the premise of the film before discussing its merits or flaws. The verdict is often summarized using a rating system, such as 5- or 4-star scales, academic-style grades, and pictograms.”
