Review of The Sessions (2012) by Dan H — 09 Aug 2014

The Sessions is a story about a man with a disability. He contracts Polio from a young age and is bedridden because of this and the movie tells us the touching story about his journey in life.

If you read the blurb about the movie or watch the trailer you will only see the main story that Mark wanted to have sex with a women.

This movie goes in more depth than just having sex with a women.

The movie explores physical and emotional intimacy that a person with a disability has and goes through.

The movie also shows a friendship and relationship between Mark his carers his Priest and his Sex Surrogate.

The movie really tells and shows the real ement of the emotional intimacy that is created between 2 people regardless of the relationship may having started to being one thing and it leads to much much more.

John Hawkes & Helen Hunt put in Oscar winning performances.

This movie is not an easy movie to watch even for me that has a disability and can relate not completely but to some degree.

This movie is not for everyone and should be watched with an open heart and mind.

The journey Mark takes in his real life may have been seen from you and I as miniscule however for Mark this was a massive magnificent triumph.

Give the movie a shot you will be amazed but if you feel its too much for you stay away.

The movie deals with a very hard and in depth adult theme and should not be seen by anyone below 18 from my call but the movie states 15 and above.

The movie has great heart and soul. One of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
