The film's central narrative champions the preservation of the aristocratic way of life and its associated traditions, framing adaptation as a means to ensure the continuity of established institutions and heritage. While acknowledging social change, its primary solution is to maintain the existing order, aligning with right-leaning values.

Downton Abbey offers a largely positive portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes through Thomas Barrow's complex arc. Despite depicting the significant societal challenges and personal struggles of a gay man in early 20th-century Britain, the show's empathetic stance and Thomas's eventual journey towards self-acceptance, love, and a respected position affirm the worth of his identity.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
