Review of Good Luck to You, Leo Grande (2022) by Joelgreenberg — 01 Jul 2022

Darryl McCormack begins well - his liquid eyes are impossible to dismiss - but then monotony takes over and when the writing gets overheated as well as over-the-top-phony, he does what he can with very little - Emma Thompson, for her part, deploys a wide range of line readings and remarkable nuance with a paper thin script - yet, I had to wonder why she agreed to sign on to this misadventure - has she exhausted every option except blowjobs, I had to ask myself - and more than once.

Always nice to see her, but this movie is a fine argument for the need to develop worthwhile projects for women beyond the age of 20.
