Finding Your Feet

Sandra discovers her husband has been with her own sister for years, walks out, and lands in the small flat of an older sister she has not seen in decades. That sister lives the exact inverse of her life: cluttered, sociable, and embedded in a community dance class. Richard Loncraine follows the established shape of the British comedy about later life, but does not skip the illness and the loss, so it is not only cheerful. Imelda Staunton plays class difference through posture, with Celia Imrie and Timothy Spall around her. Dancing here is not a test of talent but a way of being together. It holds no surprises and delivers exactly what it offers. Who it is for: viewers who like British comedies about older lives and films built around dance. Who it is not for: anyone hoping for an unpredictable story, since the formula is never strained.
