Gosford Park
- ...urns is allayed by perhaps Altman's strongest ensemble to date..
- First and foremost, Maggie Smith is marvelous as Constance, a dependent countess with a quip for every occasion.
- Michael Gambon, as the ill-fated host, Sir William McCordle, is one of the most palpably salacious characters ever on screen.
- Kristin Scott Thomas is perfectly cold yet sexy as Lady Sylvia, Sir William's wife.
- and Helen Mirren, Emily Watson, and Clive Owen are equally memorable as key characters from the bustling servants' quarters below..
- Gosford Park manages to be fabulously entertaining while exposing human shortcomings, compromises, and our endless need for confession. --Fionn Meade.
- Maggie Smith, Kristin Scott Thomas (Actors).
