Mar 30, 2018 · “Finding Your Feet” finds its own footing by putting its trust in its sturdy performers and avoiding many of the usual tea-time clichés as it allows its British cast to be defined by their relatable human circumstances more than quaint Anglo quirks.

Mar 3, 2018 · In Finding Your Feet, the screenplay by Nick Moorcroft and Meg Leonard gives us the classic British feel good film in all its whimsically harsh glory, offering us both the worst of life and the very best of life, if only the characters will be open to it.

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...

Apr 4, 2018 · When snooty, stick-up-her-butt Sandra discovers that her husband is cheating on her just as they were about to retire — something Sandra has been planning for the past 35 years — she escapes from her English countryside manor to London, to the cosy, cramped public-housing flat of the freespirited sister, Bif, she hasn’t seen in decades.
