In Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, Emma Thompson plays a woman who decides to embark on a journey of sexual self-discovery and acceptance. Thompson, who plays a widow that spent three decades in a marriage without experiencing a single orgasm, hires a young sex worker to teach her what she’s been missing. In a recent interview with NPR, Thompson talks about what it was like to bare all as an older woman: “It is radical because normally, the bodies that we choose to put on screen have been treated in some way.”
She also talks about how the role helped her to love and accept her own body. “It made me re-recognize the waste of time that non-acceptance of one’s body is,” she said. “They gave me the opportunity to put my body where my mouth is, and to allow a film to be made that I hope will be of some assistance, indeed, to young women,” she added. Ultimately, the film is about how finding pleasure can help women be free: “I hope it will give people a release and a kind of desire to appreciate themselves, to appreciate their bodies, and what their bodies can do for them and not to continually want them to be something else.”
