Daryl McCormack Is Bringing Sexy Back

men than ever—and there’s one new film coming out this summer which challenges our long-held beliefs about bodies, intimacy, and shame., a delightful two-hander about an older woman who hires a sex worker so that she can have good sex for the first time in her life, premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival. It now faces a theatrical release in the U.K. and a Hulu drop in the U.S.

In the film, Leo is hired by Nancy , a middle-aged retired teacher who has never had an orgasm. Now that her husband is dead, she’s decided to take the reins on her sexuality, and invites Leo to meet her in a nondescript hotel room . Before Leo and Nancy can get things started, she awkwardly quips that she’s never touched anyone like Leo before.

It was also imperative to Hyde that there would be no “save the sex worker tropes” at play in the film. In fact, the script written by Katy Brand initially had no sex scenes in it at all. “I did say to Katie, we’re gonna need a sex scene. It’s about sex, I want to see them interact,” Hyde said. In the final product, the first couple of times that Leo and Nancy do begin to have sex, the camera pans or cuts away, which the director noted was a “playful” choice.
