What The Sessions Is About
A thirty-eight year old poet who spends most of the day in an iron lung after polio decides to work with a sex surrogate. First he consults his priest. The film makes this neither a joke nor a tragedy; the narrative shows the sessions step by step in a professional frame, putting curiosity ahead of shame. The conversations with the priest are its easiest passages. John Hawkes and Helen Hunt lead; Hunt was nominated for an Academy Award. It is based on an article Mark O'Brien wrote himself. Who it's for: those who like films that take on disability and sexuality plainly. Who it's not for: viewers uncomfortable with explicit sexual scenes.
