Review of The Sessions (2012) by Jorge R — 16 Jan 2013

Perhaps the most unusual story to hit the screen this past year, "The Sessions" is a tender and thought-provoking movie that will disarm prejudices and break taboos with great humor and sincerity.

The performances are great, especially John Hawkes, who can only move his head, but is still astonishingly dynamic onscreen. I only wish that a more capable director had helmed this project to contribute a visual style that matches the movie's unorthodox narrative.
