Finding Your Feet. Bif: How did your Internet date go at the weekend? Jackie: Well, let's just say I got more than I bargained for. Bif: Ooh, lucky you. Jackie: No, he showed up with his wife in tow. Turns out I'd clicked swinging instead of swimming on my list of likes. Helpful • 7 0.
Mar 2, 2018 · This is a film of two halves – the first is bright and brilliantly funny with lines delivered to perfection by some of our greatest thespians, and touches on themes much grittier and darker than I expected. The second half is less funny and follows a familiar path; at times even the sadness feels like a deliberate attempt to manipulate us ...

Imelda Staunton plays the snooty Sandra, married to Mike (John Sessions), a high-ranking police chief, and about to become a ‘Lady’, thanks to her husband’s place on the Queen’s honours list. However, her perfect life goes spinning off the rails when she discovers he has been having an affair with Pamela (Josie Lawrence), her best friend. Infuriate...
On the whole, though, Richard Loncraine’s (Wimbledon) movie is more interested in its characters than its flimsy plot, whilst exploring the effect old age and changed circumstances have had or are having on them. Saggy boobs, loss of libido, being traded in for a “younger model”, aches, pains, illness and death are staples of this type of caper, bu...
The performances are exemplary – obviously. Staunton’s Sandra has sold her soul for comfort and (seeming) certainty. With her big house and posh friends, she’s become detached from reality and is profoundly uncomfortable in her own skin, at one point making something as routine as the hokey cokey appear as much fun as undergoing a triple heart bypa...
Imrie andStaunton enjoy great chemistry and you have no problem believing they are sisters. If anything, the former has the most difficult job of all. Her character Bif is something of a cliché – a bohemian, ban-the-bomb lefty who lives in a cluttered flat, seemingly without a care in the world. Underrated Imrie (who also featured in the Best Exoti...
There are some interesting class politics at work here too. The rich and well-to-do are mostly shown as shallow and awful, the poor perhaps romanticised a little too much (although the fact the film is set on a council estate not overrun by drugs and crime is refreshing in itself). As Bif puts it, while talking to Charlie about her sister: “She mar...
The film balances comedy and drama very nicely – it’s charming, funny, and earns every one of its big emotional beats. You know how it’s all going to end up, but are more than happy to go along for the ride. Finding Your Feet is, however, so perfectly machine-tooled to appeal to British pensioners, I half-expected a cameo from Mary Berryand a scene...
