Good Luck To You, Leo Grande (15): Empirically sexy stuff.

#onemannsmovies review of "Good Luck To You, Leo Grande" (2022). An intimate #shedirects take on sex workers and the middle aged. 4/5.

A One Mann’s Movies review of “Good Luck To You, Leo Grande” (2022). “Good Luck To You Leo Grande” is almost a two-hander between national treasure Emma Thompson and the adonis-like* Daryl McCormack. But it is touching and a thoughtful take on the world’s oldest profession. (* As described by the illustrious Mrs Movie Man!) Bob the Movie Man Rating(s): Plot Summary: Ex-schoolteacher Nancy…

LUCAS.

Luke purses his lips, immediately catching what she means by ‘some people actually know how to enjoy their time on the beach’ means. “What are you talkin’ about? I used to go to the beach all the time.” He says, which is technically not a lie. He used to live by the sea. He just didn’t exactly hang out at the beach or go for a swim… He was just far too busy to sit under the sun and get slowly cooked. “But this island is not exactly a vacation destination.” Not that Luke knows anything about taking a vacation. 

He lets out a weak chuckle at her fighting spirit. He doesn’t see it as a win-or-lose type of deal. More like a survival. But he can appreciate her unyielding attitude, and after seeing her in action, he doesn’t doubt that she would go down fighting in any case. “Yeah, I believe it,” he nods, his lips curled up to a tiny, amused smile, the eyes trailing off toward where the Jungle lies deeper into the island. “You were pretty badass out there. Some crazy stunt, that.” He vaguely recalls it being some kind of a move she did in the movie or something. At least Emre acted like it was. But that was before they all got separated. “Yeah, I’ve seen him in passing. Would’ve heard about it if he didn’t. Doc– uh, Iyaz talks about him a lot.” He muses. 

“Hey, I enjoy a long walk on the beach,” Luke protests, half jokingly. He then pulls up his shirt a little, revealing the bandage around his waist. “Well, I actually didn’t make it out in one piece, technically on strict bedrest. So I’ve been staying on the Leander…” He lets the fabric drop, shrugging his shoulders, careful not to hurt himself in the process. “I would get back out there for hunting and exploring, but that’s not up to me. I’m supposed to take it easy and whatever.”

“You? Went to the beach often?” Tamyra asked back with raised eyebrows. “This was before the island, right? Because I don’t think I remember seeing you on the beach too much.” Unless they had just the worst luck and they missed each other for years. She doubted that was possible. “And I couldn’t agree more, about this hellhole not being a vacation destination. I’m not saying you need to look at this place as one, but you can’t exactly be holed away in the jungle or a cave either. As shitty as this place is, you need to find some good to enjoy, otherwise you go mad.”

She couldn’t help the proud smile on her face when he mentioned that she was badass. She knew it of herself, but it was always good to hear, especially after Lucas made fun of her and her hit that shedirected at him when he showed up near her and Emre. “Thanks, I know. I never thought I’d one day have to actually use it in action, but it was cool to know I could do it and have it actually work.” It was terrifying afterward, once the reality of the situation hit her, but there was no need to mention that, not now when they were both out of there and in the sun. “Do you see a lot of those kind of monsters when you go on hunts in the jungle?”

Tamyra just nodded. “Yeah, those two tend to do that.” Iyaz and Emre had the kind of strong bond Tamyra felt like she could understand. Iyaz, distressed over burning Emre, and Emre in the cave, telling Tamyra that he would do anything to get Iyaz off of the island, both got seared into Tamyra’s mind. “You’re close? With Iyaz?”

She tilted her head, looking at the bandage curiously. “What happened to you? You were just fine when we got seperated.” It was just the beginning for her. Even though she herself didn’t get badly hurt, but she saw some of her friends suffer more than she liked, which hurt in a completely different way. “It sounds like you are doing anything but following orders, so come on, sit down at least. If Iyaz sees you and how you refuse the bedrest, I’m not going to take responsibility for it,” she said, patting the sand next to her. “If you’re not out there, spending your day in the jungle, what are you doing with your time?”

Tamyra was making polite conversation, but maybe that last question had more behind it. She was feeling so out of place, like she couldn’t find herself on the island since her own accident. She spent so much of her time before that building and trying to figure out how to get off of the island, and all of that time was freed up and she didn’t really know what to do with herself. Sounded like Lucas knew just the feeling, maybe he could give her some ideas, even if he didn’t realize what she was asking.

#latepost✌🏿a glance back to Saturday having breakfast w/ my COUSIN Armani Martin! Behind the 📸 - Back in February 2016 cuzo introduced herself to me on FB explaining why she knew we were cousins. After over a year of trying to connect & continually missing each other lol (seriously it was bad lol) we were finally able to connect. She is ambitious, kind, smart & hilarious...no doubt she is family 😊! Grateful for this day & the relationship we will continue to build on. #woffordfamily #family #roots #followher #afterayearandtwomonthsofattempts #cousins #knowyourfamily #ourfamilyismassive #genealogy #blessed #saturdaybrunch #fun #actor #shedirects #sheproduces #producers #filmproducers #tvproducers #castingdirectors #thumbsupdinner #universallove #thankful (at Thumbs Up Diner)

""Stories are essential in the success of one's growth. There are people out there who experience things and truly feel they are alone and misunderstood. As a middle schooler, as a high schooler, and even in my young adult life, I always felt my story didn't matter because there would always be someone out there with a louder voice, a taller stance, and a bigger safety net. But, in these past couple months I have truly come to learn that although I may not always have the best words, or the biggest smile, or the strongest embrace, my story matters because so many who came before me and those who will come after me have, in some way, felt and saw and heard and thought what I did. Despite all the fears and insecurities, I finally get to share my story with the world so that other little brown girls can know that they're seen and heard. What's your story?" -J.A Walker ( @shedirects ) I'm running a campaign on Indiegogo. Please help us meet our goal before it ends on June 1.
