  I loved this!! A really great twist on the romcom, structured like a play (in the right way.) The first movie I’ve seen that really nails the idea that sex workers often act as as therapists for their clients and argues for the decrim of sex work by depicting that. Feel a little iffy on an element of the last half that feels like a damaging stereotype but I understand it’s use in the story, I guess. Sally Rooney’s finest work!! (I don’t think Sally Rooney had anything to do with this but there’s a hot Irish guy in it and he’s fucking. Rooney mode.)

  Review by Ella Kemp ★★★★

  The sexiest thing you can be with another person is plain and kind and true about what you want, what you need. Sex can electrify tiny moments but also quietly damage a whole lifetime - even/especially when it’s because simply just a little lifeless, a bit lacking. Daryl McCormack is incredible but, and I mean this very bluntly, you’ve never seen Emma Thompson like this and thank fucking god we have her

  Okay now where’s the movie about the guy who pays Leo Grande to dress up as a cat and then ignore him for an hour, that sounds very interesting

  1 room, 2 people, and an incredible arch that i never expected to enjoy this much. 

  i am very pleasantly surprised by this intimate & simple, yet powerful story. both leads have beautiful chemistry and talent that is without a doubt some of the best performances i’ve seen this year. i turned this movie on for background noise and i could not keep my eyes off of it, with each new meeting i was drawn into these characters journey together. 

  i think this movie will be criminally overlooked this year and if ur thinking if you should watch this just please turn it on, once it’s on you will be hooked. if you love incredible dialogue with vulnerable story telling then tune in now!

  Review by Chris Feil ★★★½

  As charming as you would hope an “Emma Thompson books a sex worker” movie would be, but also surprisingly moving on matters of sexual shame and overcoming inner and outward biases

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★½

  Former schoolteacher Nancy Stokes (Emma Thompson) is about as comfortable with her sexuality as she is with the aging body that has been forced to suppress it her entire life. So when this recent widow splurges a chunk of her savings on a night in a hotel with London’s finest male escort — hoping that he might introduce her to the elusive orgasm that her late husband never bothered to look for, and that she’s always been too ashamed to find on her own — a part of her is naturally repulsed by how well things turn out.

  Not only is the young man who comes to her room “aesthetically perfect,” Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack) is also clever, charming, and…

  Review by Cernan Mari ★★★★ 2

  Sex is more than just sex. It's also not just about pleasure. It's therapeutic, cathartic, and just plain fun with no goal other than to have fun. That's what I've learned from watching this film.

  “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande” is simple, wise, and unexpectedly touching, but its execution was clearly meticulous. It has a light touch and successfully balances comedic and dramatic moments, but depth is never pushed or sacrificed. What happens between them is obviously sexual, but there is so much more going on. However, despite the nudity and candidness, it is rarely erotic and never exploitative. Over the course of about 90 minutes, fascinating philosophical territory emerges, with topics such as intimacy, aging, and the significance…
