Plot[edit]

In a khách sạn room, Nancy Stokes welcomes a male sex worker named Leo Grande. An anxious Nancy explains that she has never had an orgasm, and she has vowed never again to tát nhái one after the death of her husband two years earlier. She is insecure about her body toàn thân and age, and embarrassed at having hired Leo, who tries to tát put her at ease.

Leo expresses no shame about sex work, but he reveals that his mother believes him to tát be an oil rig worker. Nancy shares that she is disappointed in her adult children, adding that she is a retired religious education teacher. Her husband was her only sexual partner and found oral sex demeaning, and they never deviated from unfulfilling missionary sex for thirty-one years together.

Nancy recounts her most sensual experience: as a teenager on a family holiday in Greece, a khách sạn worker took an interest in her; alone in the garden, he began kissing and fingering her before being interrupted, and she left the following day. Seeing Nancy aroused and relaxed by her own story, Leo kisses and fingers her.

A week later, Nancy meets Leo in the same khách sạn room for a second session. Though still not having achieved an orgasm, she has prepared a bucket list of sexual activities to tát experience for the first time, beginning with fellatio. She remains anxious, worsened by phone calls from her daughter, but Leo relaxes her through nhảy đầm and a mát xa. Fearing that she sacrificed her youth and potential adventures for her family, she is overwhelmed after touching a shirtless Leo, who encourages her to tát embrace her own body toàn thân.

Leo reveals he has a younger brother in the military, from whom he is estranged, and suggests Nancy book more sessions, but she accuses him of trying to tát make more money. He tells her about his other clients, explaining that he obtains genuine pleasure from seeing their pleasure. Nancy sees Leo becoming aroused as he describes his work, which in turn arouses her, and she finally performs fellatio on him.

Nancy books Leo for a third session in the same room. He performs oral sex on her, the second item on her list, which she enjoys but does not bring her to tát orgasm. She admits to tát cyberstalking and uncovering Leo's real name, Connor. Upset, Leo tells her not to tát book him again, threatening to tát expose her as a client. She asks if they can be friends and encourages him to tát tell his family about his work, even offering to tát speak to tát his mother. Leo reveals that his mother tells people he is dead, and storms out. Returning to tát retrieve his phone, he angrily admits that his mother disowned him when he was fifteen, and leaves.

Nancy books Leo for a fourth session, arranging to tát meet in the hotel's cafe where their waitress, Becky, turns out to tát be her former student. Nancy thanks Leo for her newfound confidence and sexual awakening, and has discreetly recommended him to tát several friends. She admits her real name is Susan Robinson, and that Leo is the only true adventure she has ever had. Becky interrupts with a story about Susan shaming her and her friends for their short skirts, calling them "sluts".

Leo has revealed his job to tát his brother, reconnecting with him, and explains that his mother disowned him after catching him and several friends having group sex; she no longer acknowledges his existence, even walking past him in the street. Susan apologises to tát Becky for her past judgmental behaviour, confessing her real relationship to tát Leo and recommending his services.

Susan and Leo enjoy a final session in their room, passionately engaging in all the remaining acts on Susan's list, but she is still yet to tát orgasm. While Leo looks for a sex toy, Susan watches him walk around naked and masturbates, giving herself her first orgasm. She thanks Leo, telling him this will be their final session, as she does not need him anymore. Alone, Susan appreciates her own naked body toàn thân.[4]

On 17 June 2022, the film was released theatrically in the United Kingdom and on Hulu in the United States.[15][16] The film was released in Australian cinemas on 18 August 2022 by Roadshow Films,[17][18][19] with some preview screenings accompanied by a Q&A session with Hyde and cinematographer Bryan Mason in the preceding week,[20] including in their hometown of Adelaide.[21]

Reception[edit]

On the review aggregator trang web Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 93% based on 221 reviews, with an average rating of 7.8/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Sexual awakening stories aren't in short supply, but Good Luck to tát You, Leo Grande proves you can still tell one with a refreshing – and very funny – spin."[22] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 78 out of 100, based on 34 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[23]

A review in The Thành Phố New York Times by Lisa Kennedy described the film as "a tart and tender probe into sex and intimacy, power dynamics and human connection."[24] Describing the two lead actors, her review says, "Thompson is terrifically agile with the script's zingers and revelations. A relative newcomer, McCormack moves between wit, compassion and vulnerability with grace."[24] In a review for RogerEbert.com, critic Sheila O'Malley praised the film, writing, "It's a relief to tát see a film so sánh frank about sex, and so sánh open to tát sex's complexities, especially when so sánh much of current cinema is sexless to tát a disheartening degree. 'Leo Grande' cares about sex for older women, and not just sex, but the baggage associated with sex, and how that baggage robs us of joy and fulfillment. Also revelatory is the film's non-judgmental attitude towards sex work.[25] Writing for the Los Angeles Times, critic Justin Chang wrote, "Good Luck to tát You, Leo Grande presents itself as a corrective, with an earnestness that verges on the Utopian; for all its low-key intimacy and emotional realism, this movie knows it's selling a fantasy of its own. But it's hard not to tát warm to tát that fantasy, or to tát embrace its still-rare vision of a woman learning to tát articulate and satisfy her most human impulses. It's good for Nancy. And for us."[26] In a review for the progressive publication People's World, journalist Chauncey K. Robinson highlighted how the film seemingly destroyed the "mythos that women stop living for themselves after they reach a certain point in their lives."[27]
