Finding Your Feet
Imelda Staunton & Celia Imrie star in a Brit comedy-drama centred on an oldsters' dance group
The fabulously entertaining I, Tonya (go here for our full review) is this week’s must-see release. Ruthlessly targeting the grey pound is Finding Your Feet. Dark River is the big arthouse film (go here for our review). And if you really must join in, singalong screenings of the critic-proof box office phenomenon The Greatest Showman start on Friday.
There are saturation previews of the Jennifer Lawrence spy thriller Red Sparrow on Thursday. Bristol Film Festival’s March programme kicks off with a screening of vintage motorcycle documentary On Any Sunday in Fowlers’ Motorcycle Showroom (d’ya see what they did there?). And over at Clevedon’s mighty fine Curzon, they not only have a screening of classic comedy Withnail and I but Aardman co-founder Peter Lord will also be showing up to introduce the original 1925 version of The Lost World.
