	Author	Review
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"A comedy about selfishness, greed, snobbery, eccentricity and class exploitation (...) 'Gosford Park' is the kind of generous, sardonic, deeply layered movie that Altman has made his own (...) Rating: ★★★★ (sobre 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Angie Errigo Empire	"This is no whodunnit, but a multi-layered tragicomedy of manners, motives and relationships within a decaying social order (...) Altman's best movie in years (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ed Gonzalez Slant	"A light yet biting study of the English class system that filters Agatha Christie through the sensibility of 'Upstairs Downstairs'.(...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"It is a virtuoso ensemble piece to rival the director's 'Nashville' and 'Short Cuts' in its masterly interweaving of multiple characters and subplots"	POS
United Kingdom	Neil Smith BBC	"It's a delight to find [Altman] back to his best (...) In a fabulous cast, Maggie Smith and Helen Mirren excel (...) Five stars don't do it justice (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The whole thing might be quaint, like a highly polished old steam engine (...) But like a steam engine, it can belt along the track at a heck of a rate."	POS
