In DOWNTON ABBEY: A NEW ERA, the Crawleys return for a big-screen
victory lap. Everyone's aboard, and some new scenery is worked into the opulent proceedings. But this is comfort fiction, where the principal surprise is that -- thanks likely to modern cosmetic miracles -- one
major character manages to look anachronistically younger than when the series last aired. For warm familiarity, it's mostly recommended.

This was of course the second "Downton Abbey" outing on the big-screen
and it's possible there might be a third movie, but no decision has been
made yet. The cast, crew, and writer want to make more, but it depends
on how well "A New Era" does (as usual with the bean counters in charge
of the money) and what storyline(s) they can come up with.

Are you talking about Hugh Bonneville‘s weight loss? My 94-year-old mother had to be convinced it was not some other actor playing the part.

Not only his weight-loss. Afaics there was some heavy lifting facially.

I don't think so.
Last year he did *jokingly* say that he has had several plastic
surgeries, and gave a list of parody surgery names ...
I have recently undergone a number of cosmetic procedures
including rhinomicroscopy, breast indecision, cheekoplasty,
follicoliopoly, dental undergouging, lipodonction and
aura misting.

It was decent, pretty much just a longer version of the tv series episode
but I still wise they’d produce a proper prequel series centered around Robert and Cora meeting, getting married and setting up at Crawley
manor, him going off to the Boer War, etc.
