Good Luck to You, Leo Grande
Nancy Stokes, a retired schoolteacher, is pretty sure she has never had good sex. Now that her husband has died, she is determined to take a tour of sexual vistas that until now she has only imagined. She even has a plan; it involves an anonymous hotel room, and a sex worker who calls himself Leo Grande. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →One last one? Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. An uplifting, sweet and sometimes maddening look at what happens when an older woman hires a sex worker because she figures hey, shouldn't you enjoy it at least ONCE before you die? It's never too late for joy.

unlabelledView post →Morning everyone 😊 Double bill of films at home on my afternoon off yesterday: Mrs Harris Goes To Paris, and Good Luck To You, Leo Grande. Accompanied by a cheese sandwich and a random can of Pimms that had been in the fridge for a while, strange mix but it worked!

unlabelledView post →Anoche vi Good Luck To You, Leo Grande (Sophie Hyde, 2022). Me estuvo agradando bastante hasta que decidió romper con sus propias reglas para salirse, de forma forzada (y un poco innecesaria), del sólido tiesto que estaba construyendo. Sin entrar a juzgar el fondo, la recomiendo igualmente.

unlabelledView post →Was bummed she didn't talk about (or was asked about, rather) Dead Again, a really lovely and strange noir film from her days when she was married to Kenneth Branagh, but it was great to hear Emma Thompson say Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is her favorite film of hers. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBFo...
unlabelledView post →I <3 Emma Thompson. Brilliant in 'Good Luck To You, Leo Grande' and 'Sense and Sensibility' but - and I'm willing to fight you here - 'Nanny McPhee and The Big Bang' with Maggie Gyllenhaal is her most enjoyable movie. I fucking love that film. I cried like a baby.
unlabelledView post →I made the DEEP mistake of watching “Good Luck To You, Leo Grande” last night. Very triggering as a former sex worker, and also as a woman of an advanced age. Neither of those topics were handled well at ALL. But I’m seeing “Longlegs” at midnight to cleanse my cinematic palate. 👍
unlabelledView post →Watch Good Luck to You, Leo Grande! Emma Thompson is incredible as a widow seeking pleasure and confidence. This film is a candid, beautiful look at self-discovery, intimacy, and accepting your body at any age. It’s truly empowering. Go see it! ✨💖 m.imdb.com/title/tt1335...

unlabelledView post →I watched Good Luck To You, Leo Grande last night. What a fantastic film. Emma Thompson’s honest portrayal of a nervous and inexperienced woman seeking a sex worker to fulfil the experiences she’s never had is brilliant, while Daryl McCormack is great in a role that’s perhaps just as difficult…
unlabelledView post →It was very clear to me after Good Luck to You, Leo Grande that Daryl McCormack should be the next James Bond but I guess my brain is just operating on a higher frequency than the hoi polloi.

unlabelledView post →Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (22): A grower not a shower. Deepens and better acted as it goes. The filmmaking is slightly bland due to the premise, but Thompson makes it work. She’s luminous and delivers her best performance in years. The final sex scene is a stunner. B+

unlabelledView post →It's an alright film now. Nobody's best - even Thompson - but not a disaster. Shows promise, room for improvement. It's a shame, but I'm glad I went back to check. But in my head, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is the sequel to this, showing Kate's mistake in giving such a prick a second chance.

unlabelledView post →obvs there are ways to get at these issues in a thoughtful way but this movie just does not do that at all. made me think of Good Luck to You Leo Grande which is so much more deep on these issues and shows Emma Thompson's very naturally aged body to wildly different ends.
unlabelledView post →I am yet to find a movie that explores the unfulfilled sexual desires of women over 40. This tried but didn't quite manage it, and 'Good Luck to You, Leo Grande' was brilliant but obviously not a sexy movie. There's such an opportunity to do something great with that genre but this was way off.

unlabelledView post →Good Luck to You, Leo Grande; directed by Sophie Hyde; starring Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack; written by Katy Brand Feeling she has missed out on life, a retired widow hires a young sex worker to expand her horizons. Interesting discourse on sex from a woman’s perspective with an amazing Emma Thompson that goes all the way with the part. A bit too wordy and theatrical in its trappings however. Streaming/Rating: C+ #GoodLuckToYouLeoGrande #MovieReview #Movies
unlabelledView post →I quite liked both Good Luck To You, Leo Grande and The Eternal Daughter. (I also quite liked Fall, but it’s not really notable enough to put on your list.) And can we assume you’ve seen movies like Tàr and The Fabelmans and The Banshees of Inisherin and Women Talking?
unlabelledView post →I remember leaving GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LEO GRANDE and a little old lady saying to me “oooh that was a bit fruity, wasn’t it?” and then laughing her socks off.
unlabelledView post →There was the same issue with Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022). The racial angle was a bit.... They could have just as easily cast a young white male. (It was a good movie. Emma Thompson was a horrible client but they're British so 🤷♀️)
unlabelledView post →Glad of the hashtag. I thought you were remembering a formative viewing of Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. Oddly, I've never seen The Tall Guy. Enjoyed Leo Grande though.

unlabelledView post →💯% All women are magnificent, just as they are (naturally) Grey hair is the new sexy in my opinion! The ONLY good thing to have been a result of the COVID pandemic and lockdown was that women now aren't ashamed to wear grey hair. Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is a wonderful classic for instance!
