Fackham Hall

Rated:R ; 97 minutes; in English; Directed by: Jim O’Hanlon
Starring: Thomasin McKenzie, Ben Radcliffe, Damian Lewis
Fackham Hall is a relentlessly funny spoof of Downton Abbey and the British Aristocracy genre.

With a gleefully affectionate tone, Fackham Hall barrels through a dizzying amount of story and nonstop gags that harken back to the
great comedy spoofs of all time like Airplane and The Naked Gun.
