Next Best PictureDan BayerDec 4, 2025
A near-perfect parody chock full of witty wordplay, ingenious physical comedy, and diabolically clever sight gags. Read full review

IndieWireElaina PattonDec 4, 2025
Fackham Hall succeeds because it effectively skewers its target genre, and its top-tier actors know how to deliver a joke to its furthest possible endpoint. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckDec 4, 2025
Like most movie spoofs, this one relies on quantity over quality, meaning that if you don’t find one joke funny you can rest assured there’ll be another one just a few seconds later. The team of five writers pack so many visual and verbal gags into the proceedings that some of them inevitably land, compensating for the profusion of groaners. Read full review

The New York TimesNatalia WinkelmanDec 4, 2025
Sending up costumey, upstairs-downstairs tropes, the movie seldom lets five seconds pass without a wisecrack, pratfall or sight gag, sometimes all three stacked on top of each other. Read full review

The Seattle TimesMoira MacdonaldDec 8, 2025
Fackham Hall is a pleasantly silly diversion for “Downton Abbey” fans with a tolerance for raunchy sight gags and bad puns. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanDec 12, 2025
The movie, in its mud-on-the-doily way, is amusing enough to get by. But it never shocks you into laughter. Read full review

The GuardianAdrian HortonDec 8, 2025
This enjoyable silver-spoon romp packs all of its 97 minutes with jokes and bits ranging from the puerile to the genuinely funny, proving that there may yet be more to wring from eat-the-rich satire. Read full review

ColliderMaggie LovittDec 4, 2025
Fackham Hall holds its own as the first of its kind — and carves out a brand-new niche in the satire landscape. Read full review

RogerEbert.comNell MinowDec 5, 2025
One element of this film that works well is that the actors understand the assignment, no winking at the audience, except for British comedian/presenter and co-writer of the screenplay, Jimmy Carr, playing a vicar who cannot help running the liturgy texts together to make them sound dirty.

The TimesEd PottonDec 12, 2025
Despite the game involvement of actors as fine as Damian Lewis, Katherine Waterston, Thomasin McKenzie and Anna Maxwell Martin, this Downton Abbey spoof is often aggressively unfunny. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinDec 12, 2025
Usually, a spoof franchise would only feel this exhausted by the second or third sequel, so I suppose Fackham Hall deserves points for efficiency at least. Read full review
