The Lovely Leo Grande

“A good movie makes the audience feel like they have journeyed with the characters.”

– Rich Moore

Oh, how I WISH I could have, ahem, journeyed with Leo Grande in the film, “Good Luck to you, Leo Grande.”

Me a few million other women, I suspect 🙂

Oh. My. Good. Golly.

If you haven’t seen the film yet, I highly recommend it! It is bold, brilliant, and beautiful…in many senses of the word.

For as much as this film is about sex, it’s also very much about beauty: seeing the beauty in another human being and seeing the beauty in our own bodies — which tends to be quite a challenge for many people, I suspect.

Here’s a quick synopsis of the film:

“Emma Thompson plays Nancy, retired and recently widowed, vividly unhappy, and at the limit of her ability to endure her own unhappiness. Completely breaking her strict patterns, she hires a sex worker named Leo (Daryl McCormack), whom she somehow found on the internet. She rents a posh hotel room, where he joins her.”
