The SessionsMovie Reviews

Incredible!!!

This is a beautiful, heart warming movie. Made more so as it is based on an actual like lived in an Iron Lung. The acting is terrific. It is joyous, sad, and hopeful.

Mesmerizing and touching

This is a beautiful, upbeat movie about a paralyzed man's struggles to find happiness, or more specifically, to lose his virginity. It is a true story told in large part through the writings and poems of the actual person. The cast is small, the action is subdued, there is laughter and wit and emotions galore. And yes, there is graphic sexuality, so leave the kids at home. Parts of the movie feel incomplete or forced, such as the relationship between the surrogate and her husband, but overall a very good film. Doesn't need to be seen on the big screen to be appreciated, but sure to be in the running for a number of big screen awards come Oscar season.

Great Movie -- very good acting -- Helen Hunt still has it.

Beautiful portrayal

Acted with sensitivity and humor. Funny and sad. More about love than about sex per se. Loved it!

John Hawkes and Helen Hunt are amazing

This movie moved me so much. Every once in a while I'll stop and think about the message this movie gave me. Truly beautiful

Fabulous movie

Inspiring, beautifully written and played. For real grown ups, but you won't be sorry. Go!

Sweet, Funny, Touching, Sad and Erotic and Mature

The Sessions was an incredibly sweet, sad, uplifiting and funny movie about love and sexuality under the most difficult circumstances. Incredibly erotic but not in any way pornographic. Well written, well acted, well produced. There are no cheap shots in this movie, no crudeness, and no simple answers given. For mature audiences. This is for those who are mature not only in age but in outlook on life.

should be rated XXX

Go see The Sessions....

The is a beautiful but, emotionally draining film.

It deals with very real, very difficult topics of the human existence and does so in a profound way. It is truly a must-see for emotionally mature individuals and couples.

WONDERFUL!

Great story. Beautiful movie. Well acted. Funny and touching

Best Film in a Long Time

Saw this at a film festival and loved it. SO funny! Can find nothing wrong with it. Some people may be turned off by the nudity- although, for once, it's relevant. All of the actors are fantastic, especially those in non-lead roles. William Macy's facial expressions are genius. I think all adult age groups would enjoy this film, but maybe not those people who are offended by graphic sexual language and nudity.

Touching Romance!

What a great romantic comedy! Hawkes plays a paralyzed individual who can feel physical sensation, but can't move from the neck down. He wants to try having sex and begins to see a sex therapist, played very well by Helen Hunt. What's truly surprising about this film is how romantic it is. Sure, he falls in love with several of the women, but it's his delicate sensitivity and appreciating for the other person that strikes a romantic chord.
