The Sessions



John Hawkes stars as Mark O'Brien (based on real life), a disabled man who seeks out the help of a sex surrogate in order to lose his virginity before his impending death. Helen Hunt plays the surrogate, and William H. Macy also appears.

It's a Fox Searchlight film so naturally it has an Indie vibe to it, and as such I really enjoyed the pacing and the general feel of the film. O'Brien's character delivers some Allen-esque quips about life, sex and religion and the humour is great throughout, always taking the more uplifting attitude rather than sombre or depressing.

I knew I'd enjoy this film more than the others I'd seen today, and of late, simply because I knew it wouldn't be a 'busy' film, and I was right. Downright enjoyable, really.

And you get to see Helen Hunt's minge and tits :o

8/10
