Review of The Sessions (2012) by Dan P — 16 Feb 2013

I'm not sure why Helen Hunt was nominated for an Oscar for this other than that she does full nudity. And if she's nominated, I don't understand why John Hawkes wasn't as he puts in such a strong performance with such limitations.

This movie was seriously misadvertised. The trailer makes it seem like a comedy, which it is far from. And frankly, it's a huge let down. So much more could have been made out of this movie, and you walk away feeling that it's a failure of unrealized potential.

I know it's based on a true story, but still, it could have been so much more.
