The Academy Award® winner for Best Original Screenplay, Gosford Park is a whodunit as only director Robert Altman could do it. As a hunting party gathers at the country estate, no one is aware that before the weekend is over, someone will be murdered - twice! The police are baffled but the all-seeing, all-hearing servants know that almost everyone had a motive. This critically-acclaimed murder mystery features a who's who of celebrated actors. With a diverse cast of characters - all with something to hide - it'll keep you guessing right to the surprising end. Gosford Park proves that murder can be such an inconvenience.

Reviews

The MacGuffin

Allen Almachar

The beauty of Robert Altman's Gosford Park is how it delicately balances the numerous storylines to create a wonderful mosaic of characters.

For a film about homicide and class conflict, Gosford Park is surprisingly congenial.

Gosford Park expertly melds comedy and drama, eventually adding a pinch of intrigue with a second-act slaying.

The film's end is especially haunting in a way I didn't initially grasp, and though his two following films definitely have their merits, Gosford Park has rightfully earned a reputation as Altman's last great work.

A riotously fun take on the murder mystery genre, and the finest of the director's late period works.

Common Sense Says

Wonderful British whodunit has some sex, language.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Gosford Park has sexual references and situations (briefly graphic), including adultery, a hint of a homosexual relationship, and an attempted molestation. There is some strong language, including "f--king," and a character is murdered by poisoning and stabbed afterward. Accurate to the period, characters smoke and drink heavily.
