So well acted. In the hands of clumsy performers, this script would be horrifying. But it wasn't and so it isn't. When we want sex there are always other hungers, other flavors that we desire. A widow seeks adventure, a sex worker seeks affirmation, perhaps praise that was never freely given. All in all a "feel good" movie in more ways than one.
Why did I have to stumble upon this movie on Prime instead of seeing critics tout it on their platforms? A bravura performance by Emma Thompson in a 'small' character-driven movie that makes every superhero or thriller film look amateurish by comparison. Maybe I'm just partial to intelligent dialogue and rational, original plots. I have to wonder what Thompson's thought process was in deciding to take on this role. It can't have been easy for her, at age 63. Courageous! Daryl McCormack turns in an outstanding performance as a sex worker whose gentle professionalism and sensitivity is meant to set the retired teacher at ease. Highly recommended!
A truly original movie in a day and age where formulaic crap dominates. If you are prudish, this is not for you. The whole movie is about an older woman's interaction with a male sex worker so it is certainly not appropriate for all viewers, but such a well written and well acted movie that I actually came here to write a review. Well worth taking the time to watch this.
It's time to take the plunge, and try stuff out, for years you've been unable to, checkout, so you're hiring a man, a metaphorical kind of fan, to raise a flame of which you have, a little doubt. When you meet it all seems like a bad idea, you're quite anxious, with a little bit of fear, should he stay or should he go, there are things you want to know, so you talk a lot, it's all very sincere. Extra couplings are arranged over the weeks, finding more than what you thought you had to seek, it's a therapeutic weave, and you finally achieve, to walk away as if you've just started to peak.
An engaging and rewarding tale of bravery and honesty about who you really are, and what you want.

- WissenswertesEmma Thompson's naked scene in this film was "probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do," she said. "[Director] Sophie [Hyde], Daryl [McCormack], and I rehearsed totally nude and talked about our bodies, talked about our relationship with our bodies, drew them, talked over the things that we find difficult about, factors we like about them, described one particular another's bodies," Emma reported for the duration of a Cinema Café panel at the Sundance Film Festival, where the motion picture premiered.
