A movie that offers nothing more than a warm glow, great music and a romance that rises effortlessly above the stereotypical.

Although undeniably predictable and unambitious, Falling for Figaro gets by thanks to the excellent actors and a quietly subversive sense of humour. Lumley steals the show, but that comes as no surprise.

Falling for Figaro’s story is as predictable as burning dinner before your in-laws’ arrival. But the prosaic beats are offset by Joanna Lumley and Danielle Macdonald’s enjoyable performances.

It’s no surprise that Lumley is absolutely fabulous and will draw most of the audience, but it’s Macdonald who makes the biggest impression.
