Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is a didactically affirming, immensely likable British serio-comedy, which is more issue- than character-driven.

The tale features Emma Thompson as a prim, widowed, high-school religious studies teacher who hires Daryl McCormack’s sex worker for a date, hoping to have an orgasm for the first time ever.

This sensitively performed two-hander, written by British comedian Katy Brand and directed by Australian Sophie Hyde (Animals, 52 Tuesdays), presents a sex-positive portrait of a client-escort relationship, but with a female customer for a change.

Although older female viewers would seem to be the film’s obvious target, other demographics should also find it interesting.
