Emma Thompson, Daryl McCormack and Sophie Hyde on Good Luck to You, Leo Grande

What's more real or gratifying than a genuine connection between two people? Director Sophie Hyde investigates the bond between two people, the stigma of female pleasure, and the topic of sex work in her charming dramedy Good Luck to You, Leo Grande. Among the more dour and heavy films of Sundance Film Festival, Leo Grande serves as a breath of fresh air, effusive with charm and charisma. Written by Katy Brand, Leo Grande tells the story of Nancy (Emma Thompson), a retired schoolteacher, who has spent all of her life sexually unsatisfied. Determined to do something about it, she hires a young sex worker named Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack) to help her. Beyond the big O, Nancy simply wants to explore the sexual avenues she's never gotten to walk down in her life, and along the way, she and Leo form a surprising connection that leaves them both changed. Thompson and McCormack have tremendous chemistry together, bantering back and forth as Nancy and Leo slowly grow comfortable with each other. Although the story focuses a lot on Nancy's life, particularly her love life and her complicated relationship with her kids, we slowly get to know Leo and his feelings about his family and also his feelings about sex work.
