- 100The PlaylistTomris LafflyThe PlaylistTomris LafflyThe most groundbreaking thing that Hyde and Brand pull off with “Leo Grande” isn’t merely an honest depiction of female sexuality — although that alone would have been enough to make their film a triumph. Rather, the duo goes further and observes an aging woman while she studiously unlearns her long-held beliefs and constraints.
- 100SlashfilmBen PearsonSlashfilmBen PearsonGood Luck to You, Leo Grande is a spellbinding piece of filmmaking, an acting masterclass, a celebration of the written word, and a powerful cinematic plea for self-acceptance and self-love.
- 80The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawPerhaps Good Luck to You, Leo Grande does not aspire to a piercingly profound analysis of sex and the human condition. It is, however, an amusing, compassionate and humane drama acted and directed with terrific panache.
- 80The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinThe Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinIntimate in every sense, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande represents an affirming, immensely likable British comedy-drama.
- 80VarietyAmy NicholsonVarietyAmy NicholsonMcCormack is fantastic in a role so subtle it could appear flatlined and phony if people aren’t playing attention.
- 80Screen RantMae AbdulbakiScreen RantMae AbdulbakiBolstered by fantastic, memorable performances, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is an understated, empowering, and charismatic film that does not disappoint.
- 75IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichGood Luck to You, Leo Grande is a touching little two-hander that does right by its title character even if the lion’s share of the conflict in this audience-friendly charmer hinges on Nancy’s seesawing relationship with herself.
- 75TheWrapMartin TsaiTheWrapMartin TsaiIt’s an intimately scaled film that still demands to be seen on the big screen; never once does it leave the impression that it would be best suited for a streaming platform. Hyde’s refined and attentive direction, Bryan Manson’s crystal clear cinematography, and Stephen Rennicks’ sparkling score have done wonders cultivating the sensual tone and texture.
