Nancy Stokes, a retired schoolteacher, is pretty sure she has never had good sex. Now that her husband has died, she is determined to take a tour of sexual vistas that until now she has only imagined. She even has a plan; it involves an anonymous hotel room, and a sex worker who calls himself Leo Grande.

Sweet little single location comedy/Drama that is an exploration of sexual arousal that is not defined by age. Almost like a coming of age story but with a old lady who wants to feel that enlightenment in terms of sexual experiences. The only gripe I have is it becomes tad repetitive after 40 minutes or so. The last chapter obviously makes it up so brilliantly. Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack’s performances are greater than the writing as a whole. They make this totally funny, emotional and satisfying in the end.
