Good Luck to You, Leo Grande
After the passing of her husband, an aging retired teacher (Emma Thompson) realizes she may have missed out on some excitement in sexual experiences, so see hires a handsome young sex worker to answer some questions in her mind & hoping to enjoy a night of pleasure. She is very nervous & anxious, not quite sure if she wants to go through with it. He is very calm, understanding, & patient. He is like a professional sex therapist gently nudging her into her comfort zone. This film is more dialogue driven as these two strangers with a common goal get to know each other. In the end, they get down to business with Thompson bravely & boldly puts it all out there as her character accepts who she is. This is a touching story on a delicate subject.
Alien gives it 3 “sexual freedom” stars out of 4.
