This is an absolutely superb film! If you see a trailer it won't show how brilliant this film is, the only way you can actually experience how good it is is by actually seeing it. The only way that it can be advertised to actually make you want to see it is word of mouth. I see loads of films each year and I can tell you as a true critic, not biased by any specific genre, this film is brilliant. It's original, funny, shows the true awkwardness of the situation and work with it. It's fun, no matter how serious the condition or serious the illness is. The guy is fun. The best line, "Are you religious?" "Yes, I need someone to hate and blame for my problems". It's so true!

Not a single false note struck by any of the cast in this gem. John Hawkes, an actor's actor, finds a new level, as does Helen Hunt which is saying something. Every time I see William H Macy I think he is (even) better than the time before, and this is no exception.This beautifully constructed and rendered movie was written and directed by a guy that I have never heard of, and, I'm told, made for less than a million bucks. My guess is that we will hear a lot of him in the future.line 9line 10

This film is about a paralysed man who seeks professional help from a sex surrogate in order to experience sex."The Sessions" has a simple and straightforward plot, but it is incredibly moving. It approaches sex with a straight to the point, matter of fact manner, which hopefully helps people in similar situations to be comfortable with sex. I am surprised that the filmmakers managed to find a well known actress to play the role of the therapist, and I applaud Helen Hunt for taking this challenging role. She plays the emotional part very well, as the very brief scenes with her husband already shows the emotional rift between them. Towards the end, it gets so touching twice in a very short amount of time with little build up. "The Sessions" is a very good film, and I hope people will go and watch it.
