In 18th-century England, Savage House follows Sir Chauncey Savage (Richard E. Grant), a gloriously unscrupulous social climber propped up by debt and bravado. When invited to host the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chauncey and his razor-sharp wife, Lady Savage (Claire Foy), launch a bid to impress. As preparations spiral into duels, decadence and bloodshed, their performance careens out of control--a darkly comic satire of class, spectacle, and the art of appearing important.

David Sexton New Statesman 8h
The film doesn’t work at all, neither dreamy nor funny, just mucky. Very odd. Go to Full Review

It’s tragic, moving and quite brilliant. Go to Full Review
Kat Halstead Common Sense Media 1d
3/5
There are funny moments and some great performances in this costume drama satire, but it never quite reaches the clever heights of the likes of The Great or The Favourite in its execution. Go to Full Review
