Add a CommentSuch a great movie!! Hawkes and Hunt are the movie couple of the year!
The acting made this movie! Very touching! Loved it!
I had very high expectations since I love John Hawkes so much, but this movie didn't blow me away. It was good. It was a sensitive look at what could have been an awkward topic. Perhaps the religiosity turned me off. I don't know.
This is a really good movie that I surprisingly found out at the end is based on a true. I learned a lot about what it must be like to be physically paralyzed, but yet at the same time still have unfulfilled sexual needs and a desire to be intimate.
A very deep emotional movie...with lots of love and friendship....
this is a really good movie. The subject matter is different. This is one movie that you have to see.
amazing film, excellent performances by Hunt and Hawkes. honest and sensitive depiction of quandary and conflict over sexuality, religion, disability and sexual surrogacy. the real Mark O'Brien can be seen in the 35 minute 1996 doc Breathing Lessons. Hunt had a different sort of sexual relationship with a paraplegic in the 1991 movie The Waterdance.
Wow, a topic that i never thought about until this movie. I liked this movie. Based on a true event.
RT 94% Tender, funny, and touching, The Sessions provides an acting showcase for its talented stars and proves it's possible for Hollywood to produce a grown-up movie about sex.
A moving and sensitive story of a paralyzed man and the women in his life. All he ever wanted was love, and he experienced it. Based on a true story (written by Mark himself), this film has personality in the bunches and tells an unorthodox tale in the sensitive way it should be told. If you don't have a problem with nudity (and lots of it), I recommend THE SESSIONS.
