They were both excellent, but I didn't love it as much as I'd hoped I would. It was a bit slow and wordy. I'd still recommend it. + Just Sayin, DruJac, harlow and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeezifonly Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Emma is brilliant regardless of material, and he seems quite the snack. Definitely going to watch. samhexum and thomas 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DruJac Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Fast forwarded my way through it. It could be easily edited down to a 45 minute short. But that Daryl McCormack and his sexy Irish accent kept me interested. Thankfully my eyes were rewarded towards the end of the film. + Just Sayin, harlow and thomas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MikeThomas Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Haven’t watched it yet. Trailer looks good. He seems to be the ultimate provider. Hot, kind, empathetic… did I say hot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruHart1 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Emma Thompson is simply a great actress. Daryl McCormick is very good, a very beautiful man, and plays the character of Leo Grande as a sex worker with enough experience to project his enjoyment of his chosen profession. Perhaps as @samhexum says, a bit wordy, but remembering back to my first escort 11 years ago, I had so many of the same doubts/questions that Nancy expresses to Leo over the course of their meetings. Certainly, Leo is the BFE type of escort I’m always hoping to meet with any new hire. The thoughts/questions she expresses to Leo take her completely out of her everyday life, and by the end of the film she is definitely a stronger woman than she was at the film’s beginning. I believe I enjoyed the script so much because I know I, myself, became so much more comfortable with myself and my sexuality starting with my first hire and I feel my self-esteem and my personal self-security has only grown over the years since I began this wonderful hobby! I quite enjoyed the movie because I really identified with the situation portrayed!

jeezifonly Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Emma’s promo interviews have been enlightening about this film, and all the pressure on women to have unrealistic bodies. She’s playing her own 60-ish age, and had to find a way to be comfortable with her own body, enough to do the nudity and sex scenes. How a woman anticipates and views her sexual experiences (esp real intimacy) with a stranger is very different from how we fellas would do it. thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ azdr0710 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 with a quiet, rainy afternoon ahead of me - and with most chores and errands caught up - decided to watch this after seeing all the hullabaloo in this thread...... after about 15 minutes, I realized this was going to be another My Dinner With Andre and, like @DruJac, found my fast-forward button invaluable.....occasional checking in to see if anything new had been resolved......nope....... watched the last few minutes, of course, and was happy to see both characters smiling in their last scenes..... very good movie for what it's trying to be, I guess.......call me an unsophisticated rube, if you must........

jeezifonly Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) Watched it last night. It was so much more than I expected. Yes it’s slow. If that pace doesn’t suit you at a particular time, maybe it will at another. But it’s solidly written, terrifically acted. Any fan of Thompson will love it. Definitely recommend it.

KateNickolson Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 How often do middle-aged people discuss their intimate desires and share their sexual preferences? You have to admit, it's a rather racy topic and it's kind of scary to talk about it. But the British were not afraid to make a film on the subject - and that's great. It is a necessary film, really, as it gives us a chance to look at the familiar things from a different angle. I managed to download it via the pirate bay. The result is a truly intelligent, serious movie with British humor and great actors. Special praise to Emma Thompson for not being afraid. It would be great if such pictures were released more often. The topic, indeed, taboo, but necessary. And now, it's a good time for it. samhexum, + Just Sayin, KeepItReal and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Just Sayin Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I just read a profile of Emma Thompson in The New Yorker, and the author mentioned "Good Luck to You, Leo Grande." I was intrigued and watched it last night and greatly enjoyed seeing it; I was fascinated when Emma Thompson's character said she wanted to be with a young man; I can identify with that!
