100/100
"Un microuniverso retratado con un gusto tal que dan ganas de ir a descansar y a retozar con semejante grupo de personas y personajes..."  Cinenganos  Alex Ramirez

"Most of the action (and I use the term loosely) is seen from the eyes of the servants, then discussed ad nauseam."  ReelTalk Movie Reviews  Betty Jo Tucker

A-
"CLUE! meets REMAINS OF THE DAY"  AboutFilm.com  Carlo Cavagna

3/5
"The movie spends all its 137 minutes convincing us how dazzlingly intellectual it is."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

4/4
"In a year bursting with very few remarkable achievements, "Gosford Park" emerges as one of the best and most engrossing features of 2001."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

3.5/4
"Altman at the top of his game."  Movie Boeuf  David N. Butterworth

A+
"An Anglophile's delight."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

1.5/4
"For the usually great Robert Altman, this is a terribly disappointing directing effort."  DustinPutman.com  Dustin Putman

3.5/4
"The Clue genre never looked as good as it does in Robert Altman's Gosford Park."  Slant Magazine  Ed Gonzalez

B+
"The performances are utterly delightful, from Stephen Fry's inspector to Maggie Smith as a hilariously catty relative."  EricDSnider.com  Eric D. Snider

B+
"A grand and glorious entertainment, and a welcome return to form by one of today's directorial giants."  One Guy's Opinion  Frank Swietek

"A top-drawer entertainment from start to finish. "  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"This isn't Academy Award material, but it's good enough to provide an enjoyable afternoon or evening, especially for those who love 1930s-era British drama and intrigue."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3.5/4
"may not be Altman's greatest triumph, but it is one of his finest works in years and it is one that is worth revisiting again and again"  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

8/10
"The whodunnit aspect is not the meat of the movie. It is instead the characters themselves and their personal affairs, hang-ups, and peculiarities that make the film interesting to watch."  Window to the Movies  Jeffrey Chen

"Good, but certainly not one of Altman's better or more memorable works."  Screen It!  Jim Judy

3/10
"An unbearable runtime, waaaaaaaay too many characters and almost zero story."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

"A banquet to linger over and savor."  In the Dark  Jonathan F. Richards

B
"obviously choreographed by a director of great skill, yet the sheer number of the players allow few to really register in a mystery which offers few surprises"  Reeling Reviews  Laura Clifford

2.5/5
"The performances range from good to great; it's a shame that their efforts don't coalesce into a more resonant result."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

4/4
"Works as a murder mystery, a comedy of manners, a human drama, and a social commentary simply by providing a rich tapestry of characters and relationships, status and class."  Mark Reviews Movies  Mark Dujsik

4/4
"Sold as a murder mystery, Gosford Park is less a whodunit than a who's-doing-what-to-whom"  Movie Habit  Marty Mapes

"This is the highest caliber of Masterpiece Theater cheese, politely seedy, deliciously droll, served up by a Anglophile’s dream cast."  Flick Filosopher  MaryAnn Johanson

1.5/4
"Proof positive that so many people are just too eager to lavish praise on a project that involves British accents and period costumes."  TheMovieReport.com  Michael Dequina

4/5
"A visual feast."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

1.5/4
"Gosford Park earns the most dreaded label of all: overrated."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

4/5
"O filme flui de maneira sempre interessante."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

2.5/4
"It was sort of like going to a dinner party and finding yourself surrounded by a group of insufferable snobs, none of whom you would ever think of inviting to your house."  Laramie Movie Scope  Robert Roten

B
"It is the work of a master but it is not a masterwork."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

A
"Altman's finest work in years, a stinging yet sensitive satire tempered by a tender sympathy for his repressed souls."  Nitrate Online  Sean Axmaker

C+
"Was it biting social satire, or was it only smug and misanthropic?"  Decent Films Guide  Steven D. Greydanus

3/4
"Another full frontal assault on the Hollywood studio system."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw

3/4
"An interesting ensemble mystery."  Oscar Guy  Wesley Lovell
