'The Sessions' is an incredibly touching drama based on a delicate subject. John Hawkes plays a man in an iron lung who wants to lose his virginity. He portrays this character extremely well, I don't think anyone could have done a better job.
This is based on a true story and the acting does make it seem incredibly real. Helen Hunt deserves some sort of awards for her portrayal of Cheryl, the sex surrogate. The story is simple but very powerful, with the odd bit of humour in there as well.
This isn't a film that I'd heard of, I just found it by chance when looking on IMDb, after seeing it I am surprised it hasn't had more recognition. A good solid, heartwarming drama.
7.5/10.
