A widow 'of a certain age', Nancy (not her real name) books a hotel room and a fit young sex worker, Leo Grande (not his real name). Nancy never had an orgasm during thirty-one years of married life, so she has some catching up to do.
Emma Thompson's performance and Katy Brand's crisp script convey very believably the awkwardness and nervousness Nancy feels. Take out the sex and nudity (please don't!) and this could have been written by Terence Rattigan to be played by Deborah Carr back in the 1950s. There is a degree of theatricality to the film, although Thompson gives her all and courageously bares her all.
Daryl McCormack matches Thompson for both bravura and skill as the young escort who's not as self-confident as he pretends. More explicit even than Netflix's SEX EDUCATION, this is not a movie for porn perverts, it's a serious study of desire, disappointment and desperation. Both its stars deserve to pick up awards next winter.

I totally think Emma Thompson should win an award for this movie. This movie touches on very very delicate subjects that we don't like to discuss. Especially about older people who want to still feel sexual and alive. They're able to take a very delicate subject and turn it into an enlightening one. Especially about people over 40 who don't ask for what they want because they don't think we should. She is one brave woman to take on this role!!
So well acted. In the hands of clumsy performers, this script would be horrifying. But it wasn't and so it isn't. When we want sex there are always other hungers, other flavors that we desire. A widow seeks adventure, a sex worker seeks affirmation, perhaps praise that was never freely given. All in all a "feel good" movie in more ways than one.
A truly original movie in a day and age where formulaic crap dominates. If you are prudish, this is not for you. The whole movie is about an older woman's interaction with a male sex worker so it is certainly not appropriate for all viewers, but such a well written and well acted movie that I actually came here to write a review. Well worth taking the time to watch this.
A movie with great acting and a good story telling from female perspective. Very engaging, honest and satisfying. What a gem! Highly recommended. 9/10.

- TriviaEmma Thompson's naked scene in this film was "probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do," she said. "[Director] Sophie [Hyde], Daryl [McCormack], and I rehearsed totally nude and talked about our bodies, talked about our relationship with our bodies, drew them, talked over the things that we find difficult about, factors we like about them, described one particular another's bodies," Emma reported for the duration of a Cinema Café panel at the Sundance Film Festival, where the motion picture premiered.
- ErroresWhen Leo is pouring himself a glass of champagne at the beginning of the second date, you can clearly see, that there is leftover champagne from an earlier take still in the glass.
