Dylan Roth Observer More than a mere philosophical exercise, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is sweet, sexy, and certainly the new favorite film of Father Intintola from The Sopranos. Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is a deeply sensual film. Rated: 4.5/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Sandra Hall Sydney Morning Herald You could call Brand’s script an exercise in delayed gratification except that it elevates the delay itself into an entertaining and perceptive exploration of eroticism and its many subtleties. Rated: 4/5 Aug 18, 2022 Full Review Francesca Steele iNews.co.uk In the end, Leo Grande isn’t a film only about sex but also about liberation and emotional intimacy, with oneself and with others. Rated: 4/5 Dec 11, 2024 Full Review Daryl MacDonald InSession Film Good Luck To You, Leo Grande is a delight and likely one of the best comedies we’re going to see in 2022. Rated: A Apr 24, 2024 Full Review Denise Pieniazek Metacultura (AR) In conclusion, Good Luck, Leo Grande reflects movingly and insightfully on shame, sexual connection, and emotional frustrations with a bittersweet flavor that manages to entertain us, but also make us think.

John B Emma Thompson is one of the great actors, and this movie demonstrates the reason. Her co-star is equally engaging. The producer and director also have filmed this in a way that does not detract from the characters and character development in any way. In all, brilliantly done by all. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Judith O Loved it! Fantastic and realistic dialog. Amazing acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/30/24 Full Review Lomax L Funny little story, with just enough sadness to keep one interested. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/30/24 Full Review Rachelle B I absolutely LOVED this movie! Movies are slowly trickling out lately about the "out of balance" of pleasure in the bed room, the slow and silent death of the female libido because of it, and this movie touch on it in such a lovely way. It brought up a lot of feelings for me, specially as a middle aged woman and sent me on a rollercoaster of self reflection. It felt to be emotionally genuine and due to certain nuances, it was obvious that it was written and directed by women. I laughed, and yes, cried a little as well (a few times if I'm being honest). I wanted to jump into the screen and hug both characters tightly at different points, to absorb their sadness etc. and offer up love and acceptance. Dylan played Leo exceptionally well. Even if he weren't stunning (he really is a beautiful man) to look at, he played smooth as silk, empathic, charming and playful (while hiding trauma) perfectly. Emma encapsulated how most women our age would feel in the situation, every emotion radiated from the screen, and she delivered it in such endearing way. The last scene of the movie was superb and made me feel ALL the feels! I have always told my daughter to make sure she gets her pleasure (orgasm) from sex, demand it even. As we all know that is not the case for most women. I wish more for her than the story Emma has told. I won't delve into that or we could be here all day lol. I hope this movie sparks a lot of conversations and empowers woman to speak up, learn to love themselves , recognize their beauty and delve into ALL the pleasures of life. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/23/24 Full Review Patricia H Probably just me but I really did not like this film. I found it uncomfortable that a mature woman would have to pay for sex. People watching with me all loved the film and said I 'just didn't get it' Perhaps they are right. I will not be watching it again. Maybe I'm just lucky that I could not relate with the characters. Each to their own! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Fatma R I have watched this film multiple times, it is beautifully multi faceted. Sensational.
