Review of The Sessions (2012) by Tvjerry — 18 Nov 2012
John Hawkes plays a man in his late thirties who's lived most of his life in an iron lung. When he decides to explore sex, he seeks guidance from his priest (William H. Macy) and a sexual surrogate (Helen Hunt).
Despite how it might sound, there's nothing unseemly or pitiable about this film. It's a sweet charmer with an upbeat disposition. Although he can only use his head, Hawkes creates a compelling character and all of the supporting case turn in captivating performances.
Even in the most awkward moments, the humor and buoyant mood make this an uplifting and enchanting experience.
