THE CHAPERONE
The Chaperone takes place amid the backdrop of the tumultuous times of the early 1920’s. The life of a Kansas woman (Elizabeth McGovern, Downton Abbey) is forever changed when she chaperones a beautiful and talented 15-year-old dancer named Louise Brooks (Haley Lu Richardson, Law & Order) to New York for the summer. One of them is eager to fulfil her destiny of dance and movie stardom; the other hopes to unearth the mysteries of her past.
The film reunites the writer, director and star of Downton Abbey TV Series. The Chaperone, based on Laura Moriarty’s best-selling book, is scripted by Julian Fellowes, directed by Michael Engler, and stars Elizabeth McGovern, who played Cora Crawley, Countess of Grantham in the landmark series.

Enjoyed very much
We loved the movie, costuming, performances were fabulous
Lovely little film- costumes & locations fabulous & Haley Lu Richardson just great! Saw her in a completely different role in 'Columbus'- a very versatile actress. Thank you!
What an awesome movie .... The Chaperone and it’s twists and turns ... a wonderful depiction of 1920’s New York. It was a mixture of the chaperone finding her past and dealing with family drama, and memories of Louise Brooks and her beginning.
The movie is beautiful especially the costume in there
Amazing performance by Haley Lu Richardson, and great plot to this movie.
Fascinating story
The event itself was well planned, but movie not for me. My mum enjoyed it.
I had no idea who Louise Brooks was so to have a new true story come to life was great. Strangely enough a reference to L Brooks came up in a book I was reading some 2 weeks later that I was stoked to understand the reference.
Beautifully shot and a joy to watch. Very enjoyable with great acting.
This is nicely done, good attention to detail and well acted, it's predictable but that's not a bad thing.
very inspiring movie
A thought provoking movie depicting the social morals of the time with an unexpected yet satisfying ending. Highly recommended.
A gentle and thoughtful movie depicting the moral sensibilities of the time and what was done to circumvent them

Delightful movie, kept a good pace with engaging performances.
What a lovely movie based on real life events - a story in it for all of us really. The costumes and setting were fantastic - thoroughly enjoyed it.
I really enjoyed The Chaperone and it’s wonderful depiction of 1920’s New York. The film highlighted Louise Brook’s relationship with her chaperone and showed the beginning of Brook’s fame. For me, it was really about the chaperone finding her past and dealing with family drama. Overall, a nice movie.
A little slow in parts, but overall an enjoyable movie
Really renjoyed the movie. Thank you
What a delightful movie. It depicted the era well, and casting was perfect. The story was interesting, with touches of humour, mystery and drama. A few periods in the film it moved a little slowly but on the whole it was great.
Lovely story - I was enthralled from start to finish
I enjoyed the movie. The costumes were beautiful.
very good movie, I enjoyed the performances and the period detail was great
We very much loved the movie with the costumes taking most of our attention, so beautiful as was the genteel narrative.
