The Sessions Movie Review |
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
Forced to do all his acting with his face, Hawkes displays the kind of camera-arresting capability that has earned others Oscar nominations. James Berardinelli-ReelViews
Formulaic but uplifting, positive and accessible. Angie Errigo-Empire Magazine
In its barest form this is a traditional rites-of-passage yarn, dealing in first love and lost innocence, and even with a candid discussion of sex, it's mostly sweetness and light. Stella Papamichael-Digital Spy
Few movies are so frank about the sexual mechanics of the disabled ... Siobhan Synnot-Scotsman
All thinking viewers will come away with a better understanding as to how the seemingly different amongst us are really just the one-in-the-same when getting up close and personal. S. James Wegg-JWR
For the most part, an authentically subversion take on fringe sexuality. Charlie Lyne-Ultra Culture
The Sessions belongs completely to Hawkes, who disappears into the role of Mark O'Brien, delivering a stunning performance that illuminates what it means to be a whole person. Matthew Odam-Austin American-Statesman
This is one of the best, and certainly one of the best-acted, films of the year. I can't think of another film that mixed compassion and carnality in such an eloquent way. Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
The laughs are always gentle, which is descriptive of the film as a whole, as it strives to reconnect cinematic sex with shared humanity. James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk
Vera is something of a missed opportunity here. Cynthia Fuchs-PopMatters
A movie about sex that shows a whole lot of sex, but isn't sex-obsessed. The Sessions grabs you in the heart rather than the loins. Christopher Lloyd-Sarasota Herald-Tribune
An inspiring tale that celebrates the human spirit, underscores the value of connections, and laughs at the beautifully embarrassing urges that make us what we are. Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
Deeply moving. The Oscar-worthy (John) Hawkes invests his character with a sense of grace and humor that nullifies any potential pity. This is a great movie for adults and even for older adolescents. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest
It is rare to watch a movie where sex is treated with maturity, religion is treated with respect and characters are so heart-warmingly written and portrayed. Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews
Raw, unrestrained and sympathetic without giving in to melodrama, 'The Sessions' is about a man facing a physical challenge who decides he wants to become intimate with a woman. Linda Cook-Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)
An intelligent, funny, insightful film that offers a frank examination of sex. It's not prurient or titillating, just truthful. Mike McGranaghan-Aisle Seat
A remarkable actor, John Hawkes, gives a remarkable performance as a remarkable character. Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
