![]() ![]() The entire progression of Restoration was not concerned with hitting on plot points, being more concerned with immersing Downey's character in a variety of situations, and watching his development from there. ![]() That the film introduces major characters and hints at sub plots, but instead focuses its attention elsewhere, was refreshing, never feeling predictable (until the final act). We see Downey's character over a period of years, yet the film never feels rushed, paying off its story-lines well. The film is expansive, introducing several main characters, and at various stages. Certainly the themes are familiar, but Restoration is very ambitious in how it sets about resolving its plot. The thing that sets Restoration a part is its unique story-line. We see the evolution of his fall, discovery, and rise, set against a genuine historical period. Set during the mid 1600s, after the English Civil War, the film revokes around a young physician and his escapades with the Royal aristocratic establishment. ![]() Restoration is the sort of period piece that succeeds almost entirely in its world building. ![]()
