Review of The Sessions (2012) by Leon B — 26 Jul 2013

Review:

I thought that this was quite a heart warming movie with great acting by John Hawkes who plays paralysed man who is seeking to lose is virginity. All of the cast put in great performances and the director done a great job with putting this true story together. It is a deep insight into how it feels to be disabled with sexual intentions. Before I watched the film, I didn't have a clue what it was about so I was surprised with the outcome. The writer done well to mix the film up with comedy and emotion which made the film even more enjoyable. As an independent movie, I'm afraid that its going to be just another one of those films that goes under the radar. Enjoyable!

Round-Up:

William H. Macy and Helen Hunt used to be in quite a lot of movies earlier on in this decade, but they have seemed to slow down nowadays and they only come out of the woodwork when a special film comes along. Before watching this movie, I didn't know of the service that Helen Hunt provides and I'm sure that it will raise a few eyebrows. I also liked the characters that played the helpers, who draw you to care about there job as well. This is a touching story which will leave you feeling emotional.

Budget: $1million.

Worldwide Gross: $9million.

I recommend this movie to people who like there deep dramas about the disabled. 6/10.
