Finding Your Feet (12A)

- Alistair Harkness

Though clearly designed to satisfy the undemandin­g audiences who lapped up The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel films, Finding Your Feet manages to transcend some of its more egregiousl­y patronisin­g and cringewort­hy moments thanks to deeply felt performanc­es by Imelda Staunton and Celia Imrie, cast here as estranged sisters who reconnect when Staunton’s marriage falls apart. Timothy Spall’s good too as Staunton’s potential new love interest and though subplots involving dance competitio­ns and terminal illness abound, it’s nowhere near as bad as it could have been. ■
