Emma Thompson is Nancy, middle aged and recently widowed, who decides to make up for lost time and experience the sex life she never had, by hiring a sex worker, the eponymous Leo Grande. Directed by Sophie Hyde and based on a script by Katy Brand.

Thompson gives a warm and intimate portrayal of a woman slowly losing her personal and sexual inhibitions. “A thoroughly impressive dual performance from Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack enlivens an electric script” Hanna Flint, Empire “Screen writer Katy Brand doesn’t settle for easy sentiment in this refreshing two hander”- Clarisse Loughrey -The Independent
