The Steps

Director Andrew Currie constructs the comedy on sharp social observation, relying on recognizable archetypes and universal family tensions. He works with the confined space of the house as a pressure cooker for emotions, while the dialogue is filled with biting humor and loaded silence.

What lingers after the viewing is a blend of cringe-induced laughter and a peculiar empathy for characters whose flaws are all too relatable. A mirror held up to every dysfunctional clan. — MovieFinder Editorial
