   We're gonna look back at Our Pandemic Year(s) and find it produced a heck of a lot of closed room movies like Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. Though a couple of other actors peep in at some point, this is basically just Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack for the whole of the run time. She's a retired widow who has never had an orgasm, or much of a sex life, and he's the charming sex worker she's paying to give her certain experiences, if not liberate her. Thompson is of course impeccable, very funny when she's filled with anxiety, regret and shame, but tracking her sexual and emotional journey quite well, her rising comfort level palpable through the various meetings. And of course, she's always wise and touching and real, that's just Emma Thompson. So it's McCormack I want to make sure to praise. His suave escort persona is just that, a persona, and it's always interesting to see him in those moments where she isn't in the room, when the persona cracks. But in both cases, we're looking at characters disrobe, so to speak, and reveal who they really are. It's quite charming, and the most sex-positive movie you're likely to see this or any year. It can be a bit didactic in parts, but generally, it lives in these two actors' performances. 1 year 8 months ago

   Meh. Feels like the movie doesn't really know what it wants to be about and the dialog is just meandering around several issues that could have been interesting but never really fully realizes its potential despite good performances. 1 year 10 months ago
