Finding your feet is a lovely little film, in the English tradition of light domestic stories told with emotion and humour.

Full of British TV and film stars, most notably Timothy Spall, Imelda Staunton, David Hayman, Celia Imrie, and Joanna Lumley.

It is produced and directed by even more of our great British talented people, including those behind the wonderful A Street Cat Named Bob just last year.

The plot encompasses loss in many forms and also survival from those losses. It also features the best death scene ever, certainly the way I would like to go.

It is told with great kindness for the characters. There are no big villains, although some are very cruel by their unthinking actions, eventually to be saved.

Happy endings for every character and for the audience, a feeling of having been hugged.

I can imagine watching this film again at home over Christmas in front of a warm fire with cosy slippers and a nice glass of sherry.

A well earned 4 out of five stars.
