Review of The Sessions (2012) by Elmar D — 09 Feb 2013
Expectedly slow-moving but unexceptionally moving and emotional. No powerhouse performances from John Hawkes or Helen Hunt but their consistent and deeply heartfelt conversations make this a different kind of romance.
John Hawkes as the bedridden poet Mark O'Brien is vulnerable and precarious, evoking a sense of teenage innocence as he revels in the therapy sessions and speaks of them with newfound wonder. Helen Hunt, gentle and persuasive, is bent on helping the man while subconsciously falling for his tenderness and naivety.
