Tuesday 17th January
Nancy (Emma Thompson), a recently widowed and retired school teacher, yearns to free herself of the inhibitions of her upbringing, inhibitions which her marriage entrenched and which she herself reinforced in her career. She takes the brave decision to hire a young sex worker named Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack), who uses his skills and charm to help Nancy find sexual fulfilment and together they find a surprising human connection. ?Smart, funny and unexpectedly tender? In short the film exists for Thompson, whose warmth and intelligence enliven an understated and masterfully modulated performance.? Tom Shone, Sunday Times
