‘Finding Your Feet’
Reading Time: < 1 minute
It is a star-studded feel-good movie about endings and fresh starts. Imelda Staunton, Celia Imrie, Timothy Spall, David Hayman and Joanna Lumley clearly had fun during the film’s shooting, and their evident enjoyment is both infectious and underlines the main theme of daring to live life to the full. It is a comedy, and the jokes just keep on coming, with only one or two one-liners falling flat. The numerous impressively choreographed dance scenes are a feature, and the popular tunes difficult to forget.
While the main characters are older, and their stories address issues specific to older age, more generally the themes are just as applicable to younger viewers.
The film is set in London and Rome and evokes a sense of life lived to the full and promise of romance that is at times successfully exaggerated. For example, the depicted absence of wall-to-wall tourists enables Rome to be portrayed as a city of love rather than the city it has sadly become.
As a feel-good film that doesn’t require you to switch off your head or expectations of high calibre performances, ‘Finding Your Feet’ doesn’t disappoint.
