“An adult film for adults. Excellent!”
“Loved, loved, loved this movie.”
“A fairytale for grownups. Had a worthwhile message. Live while you are alive. Sandra discovered what is important in life.”
“Slow start. Would have liked to have seen more of Sandra’s married life. Loved the dancing. Wonderful ending. Change of life can be appropriate and good.”
“A bit of a cliché, but beautifully done. The acting is superb.”
“Lovely film for people my age but really for all ages.” Things such as romance and sisters and hopes for the future are universal and timeless.”
“A real slice of life with a great cast of seniors who embrace the highs and lows of life in their twilight years. Very predictable but splendidly done.”
“Fabulous “coming of age” movie for people of a certain age. Just wonderful.”
“We all need to take a leap of faith at any age. As said by Cher LIFE IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL.”
“Very predictable but I still loved it. Great casting. Beautiful locations and wonderful editing.”
“Very uplifting.”
"Great message. Remember Dev Patel’s line from MARIGOLD HOTEL – ‘It will all work out in the end, and if it is not working out, then it is not the end.’”
“Loved every moment! Smiled all the way. Inspirational!”
“Good story for an aging population. Somewhat predictable, but so enjoyable and what a great cast - Imelda Staunton, Timothy Spall and Joanna Lumley. A lovely relationship to aging and living life fully while you are still here. The British sense of humor is pervasive. Imelda’s speech about her sister is so fitting - a truly a celebration of her life. Too bad she didn’t hear it!”
“A good-feeling film about a play for dance therapy!”
“Predictable but charming and engrossing!”
“Cute and predictable feel-good movie.”
“I feel that I have seen this movie too many times. It was fun to watch. Can’t believe she would give her husband a second chance.”
“This movie ambushed me. It had everything I dislike in a film. A heavy handed over-signaling soundtrack. All known or possible clichés. A plot so predictable I could have written it myself. And yet the cast was irresistible and the story so touching. I got caught up in the movie and went along with it.”
“Extremely predictable! Stock characters with no clever dialogue. No deep message.”
“Take the best of Britain’s actors (I guess Judi Dench was unavailable). Yes the vehicle they’re in is predictable but oh what a joyous ride.”
“Timothy Spall as the male lead in a romance movie?! And as a dance star? Heck, he sang in Sweeney Todd, so why not?”
