A sex comedy that is both liberating and hugely moving.
Dulcie Pearce, The Sun, 17th June 2022Good Luck To You, Leo Grande review
Emma Thompson''s new film shifts the focus from standard Hollywood sex scenes that focus on young people and only one way of getting intimate.
Sophie Monks Kaufman, The Big Issue, 17th June 2022Good Luck To You, Leo Grande review
While you might need the help of somebody else to get to that place, freedom is a decision that ultimately comes from within.

Saskia Baron, The Arts Desk, 17th June 2022The films showing sex workers in a new light
New films like Good Luck To You, Leo Grande are challenging cinematic tropes about sex workers. It's a refreshing change.
Rafa Sales Ross, BBC, 16th June 2022Good Luck To You, Leo Grande review
Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack star in this feel-good sex comedy, in which a middle-aged woman solicits a sex worker. Katy Brand writes and Sophie Hyde directs.
Euan Franklin, Culture Whisper, 15th June 2022Good Luck To You, Leo Grande review
Truthfully, the film is almost not a film at all, but a stage two-hander director Sophie Hyde works hard to give big-screen zing.
Danny Leigh, The Financial Times, 15th June 2022Good Luck To You, Leo Grande review
Deftly handled direction from Sophie Hyde and a thoroughly impressive dual performance from Emma Thompson 
and Daryl McCormack enlivens an electric script, tackling taboo sexual subjects with wit, flair and welcome realism.
