Based on the poignantly optimistic autobiographical writings of California-based journalist and poet Mark O'Brien, The Sessions tells the story of a man confined to an iron lung who is determined - at age 38 - to lose his virginity. With the help of his therapists and the guidance of his priest, he sets out to make his dream a reality. -- (C) Fox Searchlight R

Review For Movie The Sessions
Lewin, who has fought his own lifelong polio battle, handles tricky material with a gentle, empathetic touch.
Guy Lodge-Time Out Thanks to Lewin's light but assured touch, The Sessions never wears its theological preoccupations heavily, instead allowing transcendence to creep up on the audience quietly.
Ann Hornaday-Washington Post A very different kind of love story, breaking taboos lightly, with sensitivity and humor.
Tom Charity-CNN.com Achieves its sunny disposition by pulling punches.
Ian Buckwalter-The Atlantic A funny, tender and mostly unsentimentalized movie about physical and emotional triumph.
Rafer Guzman-Newsday An absolute delight.
Tom Long-Detroit News It's difficult not to be impressed with director and screenwriter Ben Lewin's ability to bring this distinctive and surprisingly emotional story to the big screen.
John Hanlon-Big Hollywood It's unlike any movie you'll see this year, dealing with delicate subject matter in a refined way.
Kevin Carr-7M Pictures What stirs you most is the effortless way Hawkes is able to convey Mark's compassion for people far more fortunate than himself.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger Survival isn't enough. Acceptance isn't enough. Mark needs fulfillment.
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit Strong central performances and an endearing premise smooth over some of the more jagged edges of the script.
Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight Ben Lewin's The Sessions is an emotionally charged film with a smart sense of humor that'll have you tearing up from equal doses of laughter and drama.
Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered While the sex sessions are frank, candid and populated by a constantly-naked Helen Hunt, it's far more warm and feelgood than you might be expecting.
Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor ...é motivo de alegria perceber como um homem como Mark O'Brien conseguiu explorar a própria sexualidade mesmo enfrentando a mais brutal e cruel das amarras: não sua doença, mas a crença religiosa.
Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena An unexpected gem: candid, touching and funny.
Jason Best-Movie Talk The Sessions proves unusually candid in its matter-of-fact attitude to both sex and nudity.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman (... ) a remarkable film about disability, incapacity and the joy of freedom in the most impossible of situations.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail This funny, moving, beautifully acted movie avoids numerous pitfalls.
Philip French-Observer [UK] Satisfaction guaranteed? Pretty much.
Charlotte Ross-This is London It's Hawkes's portrayal, in all its wit, intelligence and childlike naivety, that really captures the heart.
Stella Papamichael-Radio Times By taking a sensitive, honest approach to this true story, breakthrough filmmaker Lewin both avoids sentimentality and keeps the focus on the inner lives of the central characters.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com It's a brave performance from Hunt, who spends much of the film entirely naked. Both her and Hawkes are brilliant in a movie that is a massively uplifting experience.
Alex Zane-Sun Online The movie becomes a touching, often funny portrayal of sex as a form of kindness and human contact.
Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK] Hunt is a prodigy. No other actress could have brought such easeful transparency, such a glow of givingness, such heedlessness of glamour each time she strips naked.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Not only does it deal with sex in a straightforward manner, but it also deals with the equally sensitive themes of disability and religion, all of which writer/director Ben Lewin pulls off skilfully.
Philip Concannon-The Skinny The Sessions can be sugary, but it's likable.
