Talking to the actress and her co-star Daryl McCormack about intimacy and the politics of consent.
Thompson’s latest outing finds her baring it all for the first time—both literally and metaphorically.which is now streaming on Hulu, follows a middle-aged, widowed, and recently retired religious education teacher named Nancy Stokes who, after a lifetime of sexual repression, decides to hire a charming, young sex worker named Leo Grande, played by’ Daryl McCormack.
In some ways, one could argue this film unfolds like a four-act play—each act for a different meeting. What kinds of early conversations did you have either together or with your director, Sophie Hyde, about building that sense of trust and intimacy that permeates throughout the film?I felt like it started to happen quite organically for both of us.
But Leo is very different. I think his moment in the mirror is something that catches him off guard and something he doesn’t really anticipate. And it’s that thing where you see the surface level, and it kind of throws them into certain spirals of shame that he knows he’s grown past and he knows that he’s better than, but I just thought it was so interesting because, despite him showing such an almost perfect image, he still [has those] struggles.
Katy did a really good job of making sure that consent is that navigating factor, because—we were just saying this—it adds to the sexiness, knowing [that] somebody wants something and that they ask and someone says, “Yes,” and then it continues. It propels that feeling of like, “This is right, this is what I want, and we’re allowed to ask for what we want.”The eroticization of consent is hugely important in this movie.
