Finding Your Feet ****
Finding Your Feet is British Romantic Comedy Drama telling a
mature love story of life, starting again and discovering yourself.
The story see Lady Abbot a high class socialite who
discovers that her Husband of 34 years has been having a on going affair and is
forced to stay with her free spirited poor sister.
The film delivers on all sides of it’s mixed genre format
perfectly blending the comedy the romance and a healthy dose of Drama that cements
the story and various points is spot on.
The rarity of a mature Rom Com being made is totally capitalized
on by the amazing array of talent they have in the cast. Everyone involved
smashes their lines and relishes the scenes which they most know do not come
along that often in the mainstream for their age.
Imelda Staunton and Celia Imrie as the sisters work very
well together whether they are arguing, bonding or crying there is a chemistry
that hits the screen.
Timothy Spall as a leading love interest is not something ever associated with the actor and yet fits the part superbly gritty, heart felt, comedic and tender.
The first hour shoots bye with a well paced scripted story
that delivers not only the laughs but the dramatic moments as well.
The care that has gone into the characters is refreshing with
almost everyone having a back story, with them all being tragic with works in
contrast to the happiness they put out.
There’s a slight halt in pace at the mid way point which is
not long lasting and replaced with tidy third act that delivers a beautiful
story that should leave the audience with a smile.
A love story that looks at life with a such a over view it
begs the question of not just love but the meaning of happiness that only occurs
in such overview until older years. To pull off that maturity in the Romantic
Comedy genre whilst still hitting all the right beats is a real achievement and
a wonderful additional to famous British Rom Com collection.
