The sex lives of people middle-aged (or older) are all but absent from TV and film, particularly from a woman’s point of view, which makes “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande” seem like a welcome arrival, writes Nina_Metz.
In “Good Luck to You, Leo Grande” on Hulu, a retired school teacher arranges to meet a sex worker at hotel in the hopes of making up for decades of being in a physically unfulfilling marriage. Widowed now for two years, she looks to be in her 60s. Her gentleman caller for hire looks to be in his 20s.
It’s a gradual process, her unclenching, and she’s worried her age makes her unappealing. What if you meet someone and you really just … don’t want to do it? “Hasn’t happened yet,” he says. There’s a gentleness to Leo. He knows how to keep things light, while also being entirely present and in the moment. He’s suave without being smarmy. Thoughtful and a good listener. And practiced in the art of seduction. He’s not just going through the motions. “You learn to read people,” he says.
