Look at the wall is anything happening...
Literally the dullest film I have ever seen. It's boring beyond belief. Nothing happens at all I can write the plot in ten words.
Widow meets sex worker, talks, they shag. Then shag again.
That's it. It's crap it reminded me a bit of a fast show sketch in the end. Unfortunately unlike a fast show sketch it was neither funny or over in a minute and a half. On the synopsis on prime it is listed as a comedy I'm not exaggerating when i say I didn't even smile once.
Look at the wall next to your tv for 2 hours and as much will happen. I normally like Emma Thompson so gave it a go as it was on prime. Steer Clear. - UniqueParticle - 24 December 2022
I'm late to watching this wasn't interested at first and noticed it's nominated. It's excellent!
Emma Thompson is extraordinary and Daryl McCormick is gently wonderful as needed for such a role based around being male prostitude. A beautiful well written film deserving of nominations and a pleasant surprise! Fairly comedic, charming, smooth, bold, very sweet and better than I could've imagined. Unlike most pay for sex experiences the 2 main characters get to know each other which is so wonderful. Even though I'm over 6 months late Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is the ultimate romantic comedy that caught me off guard with how spectacular it is! The dialogue is outstanding the writers must've had fun perfecting it all especially since it's based around sex.
