One movie, two takes: Good luck to you, Leo Grande: Brave, entertaining and hopeful, this British sex comedy-drama delivers 97 very well-spent minutes
lies in the movie’s fearless conversation and not, as the billing suggests, the horizontal tango.
But what is meant to be one transactional romp between the unlikely duo leads to more paid-for sessions and Nancy’s creation of a real tick-box carnal bucket list. The elusive orgasm is part of her quest, prompting an exasperated Leo to say, “It’s an orgasm, not a Fabergé egg. People have them every day.”
But it’s Nancy’s thoughts on ageing and a woman’s body that will resonate with many of us. As she bluntly points out her hairy chin and sagging boobs, you think, who hasn’t dealt with some sort of body issue and let it stand in the way of life’s joy?

The actors give show-stopping performances and the narrative and dialogue are near perfect.
