Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
勉强3分多一分都不行，所有分数都给大胆追求性爱和快感的立意，并且，这样的男孩有谁不想点！
雖然有時候覺得Nancy真的patronizingly didactic，但本質上卻是對身體和愉悅的本性和途徑的探討。鏡中日益老去鬆弛的身體，連自己都棄若敝屣，又如何指望別人能愛上呢？在年齡、性別、身分甚至技巧方面的自卑，Emma用教科書般的分階演繹因材施教，坦誠相待，把自己全身心地交付出去，還順帶處理了親密關係和原生家庭問題，Once & more!
像一堂轻松治愈的心理课。如何对自我诚实，接受欲望，摆脱耻感。可以列入各大女性必看片单了。为艾玛汤普森女士疯狂鼓掌👏👏👏
题材，细节，男主的脸和身材，女主的演技，小空间内的张力。
设定很新颖，立意很进步，但是故事极其俗套，除了两人很养眼其他真没啥看的。想到也是有点禁忌两人相遇互相救赎的电影，超脱就要深刻一百倍
wowow，性喜剧外壳下的心理咨询。Leo是wounded healer，专注，共情，耐心，积极倾听，不评判客户的各式需求，疗程的重点是让来访关注此时此刻的自己，接纳感受，解决未竟的议题，在生活中获得更多活力和弹性。这再次告诉我们边界设置的重要性，避免过度卷入，当Leo被自己的往事吞没，他可以拥有一个督导来谈谈原生家庭和母子关系么？所幸他们拥有坚实的治疗同盟，可以谈论裂痕和痼疾，相互疗愈，共同成长。其他议题还有死亡焦虑，借由年轻的躯体重拾“世界刚刚打开，一切皆有可能”的新奇。
“im glad that u came.”“im glad that u came.”哈哈哈。
开始看时觉得应该拍成一个系列，里奥·格兰德这个披着性工作者外皮的心理咨询师，过于从容有度，想看他接诊各种客人，而不是一个典型拘谨的白人大妈，这个女性形象多少有些刻意得惹人嫌，不过在最后，话锋又转向了里奥本人，让两个角色都成为了性压抑的受害者，最后加戏的在镜中欣赏自己并不年轻的肉体一段还是很不错，是挺轻松有趣的话剧电影。
拥抱自己的身体，和痛苦和解，不带有色眼镜，满足自己的欲望，人生在世短短一瞬，没有那么多时间唧唧歪歪
这部应该是今年以来最喜欢的电影了！说是女性觉醒有点点局限 其实更像是两个陌生人之间的phase link且互相治愈的过程。男主真的好可爱 声音也令人安静 又很耐心地等待与倾听 去引导去缓释去深入都是水到渠成 更重要的是他让女主发现直面自身的欲望是不该成为羞耻的事情 去欣赏自己取悦自己也没有错。女主恰好是母亲 因而以母亲身份的共情能够让男主直面自己与他母亲和家人的关系 认可自己的能力和职业。这种陌生人之间互相短暂令对方更完整地步入next stage真是我最喜欢的感情之一了！
电影是一个顶着让人窥猎的题材实际表达伦理和治愈内涵的影片。两人物出场，令人印象深刻的是一个面对真实自我矛盾又拘束。一个回避隐藏自我，眼里有光。人物的接触里有倾听、交流、尊重、坦诚、理解、关注、接纳，文明礼貌潇洒幽默，更像是一种疗愈过程。
希望我和朋友们早日挣脱内心的枷锁，不仅在爱好上、阅读上、影视剧里获得快乐，而且能真真正正地体验到身体所能享受到的一切美好的感觉。
也许社会需要专业和敬业的服务，比如63岁的艾婶就无比敬业
I’m so glad her first orgasm is with herself!
其实在讲性交易合法化之前我就已经度秒如年了，先不说又是女性面对欲望、接受自己的老一套，光是doi前啰啰嗦嗦半天像上亲子关系修复咨询课程就已经很让我犯困了。整洁私密的酒店房间，高素质女客户，优美高雅的男妓，互相尊重，彼此倾听，性交易合法，一切美好像个梦，可以的，富婆快乐球了解一下？
所有女性都应该重视自己 欣赏自己 掌握自己的身体与生命 thanks to you, Leo Grande
太棒了，我希望我认识的所有女性朋友们都看这部电影
天呐。。。看来我也和伍迪艾伦一样，灵感随着性生活一道消失不见了，只想雇一个小哥来做门萨题。。。但影片让自己想起几年前看过的一篇微信文章，讲专门给残疾人提供替代性服务的职业，还是挺有触动的。检验一个人是否活得好，不在于基本生活需求，而在于能否满足基本欲望，就这点上看现在大部分人都活得不太好
如果没看过，绝对无法想象一个63岁的女人还能流露出犹如少女般的像受惊的小鹿一样紧张的可爱表情。囿于亲密关系的人们都应该看看这部，同自己的情欲和被裹挟多年的“道德边界”和解是漫长又有趣的过程。最后的最后，站在镜子前与自己已经发福和下垂的酮体和解，也是可爱的呀
虽然过于理想化，过于干净和体面……但是内核，关于女性的自我探索不受年龄的限制，这一点很重要。
