Overview
- The R-rated Bleecker Street release hits theaters Dec. 5 with a 97-minute runtime.
- Reviews range from raves calling it one of the year’s funniest comedies (JoBlo) to pans labeling it a lazy parody (FandomWire), with IndieWire landing at a positive B.
- The ensemble features Thomasin McKenzie, Ben Radcliffe, Damian Lewis, Katherine Waterston, Tom Felton, and Emma Laird.
- Writers report nearly 280 gags as the film leans into wordplay, sight jokes, and slapstick while spoofing British period dramas and mystery tropes.
- Authentic period craft is a focus, with the titular manor realized at an ancestral home in Liverpool to bolster the spoof’s visual punch.
