Good Luck to You, Leo Grande

[Available June 17 via streaming on Hulu.] After having a lackluster, boring, unfulfilled sex life during her 31-year marriage and never experiencing an orgasm in Sophie Hyde's refreshing, risqué, realistic, well-acted, taut, humor-punctuated, 97-minute film, a reserved, retired, uptight, nervous, 55-year-old widowed teacher (Emma Thompson) in England decides to hire a handsome, charismatic, inwardly troubled prostitute (Daryl McCormack), who has been disowned by his mother, to make a satisfying physical and emotional connection and by baring all and accepting each other's foibles, they both benefit.
