Leave your thoughts about Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.
| SlashfilmBen PearsonGood Luck to You, Leo Grande is a spellbinding piece of filmmaking, an acting masterclass, a celebration of the written word, and a powerful cinematic plea for self-acceptance and self-love. |
| The PlaylistTomris LafflyThe most groundbreaking thing that Hyde and Brand pull off with “Leo Grande” isn’t merely an honest depiction of female sexuality — although that alone would have been enough to make their film a triumph. Rather, the duo goes further and observes an aging woman while she studiously unlearns her long-held beliefs and constraints. |
| ColliderCarly LaneGood Luck to You, Leo Grande demonstrates that sex can be exciting and humorous and pragmatic and transactional all wrapped up into one. Most importantly, it can also be a connection that doesn't require love to leave both people wholly transformed by the experience. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayGood Luck to You, Leo Grande turns out to be a wise, amusing, unexpectedly touching exploration of human psyches, the bodies that house them and radical self-acceptance — by way of a literate two-hander executed by actors at supreme ease with each other and, by extension, their audience. |
| The Associated PressLindsey BahrThompson is truly better than ever and brings to life a complex and evolving person with humor, grace and a sharp edge. McCormack, meanwhile, is a star in the making. And together, the two are magnetic in this wonderfully adult film that is funny, sad, awkward, empowering and illuminating. |
| RogerEbert.comSheila O'MalleyEverything depends on the feel of the moment, the way the actors look at each other, or listen, or react. Directed by Sophie Hyde, with a script by Katy Brand, these risks more than pay off, and often in very unexpected ways. |
| TimeStephanie ZacharekGood Luck To You, Leo Grande—from Australian director Sophie Hyde, with a script by Katy Brand—is the first great movie, in a long time, for the invisibles. |
| The IndependentClarisse LoughreyEmpowerment is only one piece of the puzzle, which together forms a refreshingly nuanced portrait of sex work, desire and self-perception. |
| Little White LiesLeila LatifThe story focuses on the mutual gratification the protagonists provide each other, and how two imperfect humans meeting can prove a shared antidote for worldly ills. |
| The New York TimesLisa Kennedy“Leo Grande” proves to be a tart and tender probe into sex and intimacy, power dynamics and human connection. |
