was created by screenwriter Katy Brand, and follows a 55-year-old retired widow who hires a male sex worker to fulfil her aim of having an orgasm and provide her with a close connection otherwise lacking in her marriage to her late husband.
In contrast to Thompson’s own experiences of looking in the mirror, when her character appraises her own naked body, it’s done with true appreciation. In a recent interview with , she said, “In the movie, at that point, Nancy’s body has just given her these seconds of pure pleasure and she is marvelling at it – not ‘it’ as it looks, but ‘it’ as it has become to her.During the course of this interview, conversation turns to Emma Thompson’s experiences with being body shamed throughout the course of her career. “I’ve never really been offered sex scenes. As my mother said, I’ve basically played a series of ‘good’’ women. I do ‘cerebral,’” she said.
“By ‘they,’ I mean male executives,” she continues. “I’m too mouthy, not pretty enough, not the right kind of body. And, crikey, you are constantly told what kind of body you have.” While women may join the ranks of the body positive movement, encouraging others to love themselves and embrace their bodies, accepting ourselves is much more complex. It seems like we could all take a leaf out of Emma Thompson’s book.
