By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Film.com (1,892) on 16 Oct 2012

Review of The Sessions (2012)

By Joshua Rothkopf (1,058) for Time Out (7,510) on 15 Oct 2012

Review of The Sessions (2012)

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine/Vulture (3,519) on 14 Oct 2012

Review of The Sessions (2012)
