Movie Review | Downtown Abbey: The Grand Finale

Julia Rezende XS — Sat, 13 Sep 2025 14:35:01 +0000

Although I’ve spent the past decade (and then some) hearing the excited buzz around Downton Abbey, I had never actually given in to the story – until now. Coming into this trilogy of films without having seen the show’s six seasons, I expected to feel a bit lost, but surprisingly, that never happened. While I can’t share the emotional nostalgia longtime fans might experience, I can confidently say it’s not at all necessary to know the series to enjoy the films.

The first movie, released in 2019, felt like a long episode of a show that had already begun but still welcomed me in, giving me room to understand the dynamics and care about the characters. That same warmth carried through the next two films. The first centered on a family secret and a disputed inheritance; the second (Downton Abbey: A New Era) had the family renting out Downton as a film set to pay the bills; and this final chapter explores Lady Mary’s divorce and the challenges it brings in the patriarchal society of 1930s England.

While I imagine the series had more dramatic highs and lows, this film trilogy plays like an extended, three-part epilogue, showing how Downton Abbey found its “happily ever after” (though not always perfectly happy). The story no longer chases grand plot twists, and that’s part of its charm. The Grand Finale proves how well the franchise knows its audience and how deeply it respects its characters. Its commitment to both is evident, and deeply endearing.

Rather than manufacturing spectacle, the film gives its characters space to simply exist, which feels rare in today’s landscape, where many series sacrifice lived-in authenticity (and real emotional connection) for overblown plotlines. This final chapter remains faithful to what came before, while gently embracing the passage of time. Lady Mary’s divorce anchors the narrative, alongside the return of Barrow, now “working” for actor Guy Dexter, and the arrival of an uncle (Paul Giamatti) who promises to improve the family’s financial situation. Yet everyone, from upstairs to downstairs, has their place and their moments. What began in A New Era is developed here with care and lightness.

Conflicts arise, but they never cause lasting damage. Themes are approached with a charming optimism – a bit idealized, perhaps, but all the more delightful for it. And when it comes to delivering a proper farewell, The Grand Finale leaves no doubt. The film radiates affection for this journey that began 15 years ago. Every character receives a satisfying send-off, including heartfelt tributes to Violet Crawley, who died at the end of the second film, and whose actress, Maggie Smith, passed away last year. Still, no door is ever fully closed at Downton… so who’s to say this is truly the end?

Movie Review | Dangerous Animals

Julia Rezende XS — Fri, 12 Sep 2025 20:23:55 +0000

Serial killers are a common object of fascination in horror films, from slashers to psychological thrillers, they’ve played the villain in countless stories, some better than others. But Dangerous Animals stands out thanks to its greatest strength: originality. Directed by Sean Byrne, the film introduces its serial killer, Bruce Tucker (Jai Courtney), a man who makes a living taking tourists out into the Australian sea, specifically to swim with sharks. But right in the opening scene, we discover his excursions come with sinister ulterior motives: once out in the middle of the ocean, Bruce begins his crimes. Unlike a “typical” serial killer who uses weapons or even his own hands, Bruce is obsessed with sharks, and uses them to fulfill his most sadistic desires. The title already hints at what really matters: at first glance, “dangerous animals” may refer to the sharks, but the real danger here is simply man.

Still, a good serial killer alone isn’t enough for a horror film. A strong antagonist is just as essential. In Dangerous Animals, we get a true final girl as our protagonist. Zephyr (Hassie Harrison) is a surfer with a rough past who refuses to play by “the system rules.” She lives a nomadic life, has her van as her home, and travels the coast chasing the perfect wave. On one of these trips, she meets the suspiciously handsome Moses (Josh Heuston), who turns out to be not only a good man, but her opposite in many ways. They hit it off and spend the night together, but not used to Moses’s fancy lifestyle, Zephyr sneaks out before dawn (apparently no one’s afraid of anything in Australia), and crosses paths with Bruce, kicking off her own personal hell and a tense, action-packed survival nightmare.

Set against a paradisiacal backdrop, Deadly Animals creates a deeply unsettling atmosphere, largely thanks to Tucker and Jai Courtney’s chilling performance. With Nick Lepard’s screenplay and Sean Byrne’s sharp direction, Tucker becomes a well-crafted, believable killer. He mentions a childhood trauma – being attacked by a shark and surviving – which became a defining moment, making him view sharks as divine creatures. There’s a certain madness to Tucker, which Courtney captures brilliantly, yet he still manages to appear just “normal” enough for tourists to feel safe stepping alone onto his boat. The way Tucker kills is even more intriguing: he always takes two victims, sending one into the water to be attacked by sharks while forcing the other to watch. There’s an eerie theatricality to Tucker’s performance, he even records each of his torture sessions.

Tucker’s mistake is choosing Zephyr as one of his victims. She’s a born survivor who simply refuses to bow to him. This sets up a gripping showdown where they both dish out and take brutal hits, though Zephyr certainly suffers far more. The tension escalates when Moses, despite her trying to keep her distance out of fear of emotional attachment, becomes the hopeless romantic who risks his life to find her once he realizes she’s missing. While a touch of romance can be welcome, their relationship ends up leaning on familiar clichés that slow the narrative down. It’s not that Dangerous Animals is too serious to handle romance – it’s very aware it shouldn’t take itself too seriously (yes, “Baby Shark” is mentioned more than once) – but toning down the sentimentality between Zephyr and Moses, especially towards the end, might have kept the film’s tone slightly darker and more cohesive.

Flaws aside, Deadly Animals is still a thrilling survival horror, with sharp direction that makes the most of its action scenes and its sharks, massive, terrifying, untamed yet as realistic as possible, and a storyline that truly entertains.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Where does it come from?

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet.
