Review of The Sessions (2012) by Bikerjames — 06 Jan 2013
You cannot help but be moved by a motion picture like this one. Here is a man who has spent his life in an iron lung and cannot move, but still can sense when he is physically touched, and he faces each day with bravery and a sense of humor.
Even though the story was predictable, the performances throughout elevate the movie to another level. John Hawkes is perfectly cast as Mark, and Helen Hunt is superb as the sex therapist. The side story of the priest felt a little tacked on for me but it did add some additional humor.
The movie is funnier than you think it's going to be because Mark has such a good sense of humor despite his condition. Definitely one of the better films of the year.
