Review For Movie The Sessions
Lewin, who has fought his own lifelong polio battle, handles tricky material with a gentle, empathetic touch.Guy Lodge-Time Out
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
Survival isn't enough. Acceptance isn't enough. Mark needs fulfillment.
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit
Strong central performances and an endearing premise smooth over some of the more jagged edges of the script.
Wesley Lovell-Cinema Sight
Ben Lewin's The Sessions is an emotionally charged film with a smart sense of humor that'll have you tearing up from equal doses of laughter and drama.
Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered
While the sex sessions are frank, candid and populated by a constantly-naked Helen Hunt, it's far more warm and feelgood than you might be expecting.
Stephen Carty-Flix Capacitor
...é motivo de alegria perceber como um homem como Mark O'Brien conseguiu explorar a própria sexualidade mesmo enfrentando a mais brutal e cruel das amarras: não sua doença, mas a crença religiosa.
Pablo Villaca-Cinema em Cena
Sure, it may be Cinemax-style soft-core porn lightly disguised as inspirational drama, but there's plenty of film-snob value here
Phil Villarreal-OK! Magazine
An unexpected gem: candid, touching and funny.
Jason Best-Movie Talk
The Sessions proves unusually candid in its matter-of-fact attitude to both sex and nudity.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman
(... ) a remarkable film about disability, incapacity and the joy of freedom in the most impossible of situations.
Graham Young-Birmingham Mail
This funny, moving, beautifully acted movie avoids numerous pitfalls.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
Satisfaction guaranteed? Pretty much.
Charlotte Ross-This is London
It's Hawkes's portrayal, in all its wit, intelligence and childlike naivety, that really captures the heart.
Stella Papamichael-Radio Times
By taking a sensitive, honest approach to this true story, breakthrough filmmaker Lewin both avoids sentimentality and keeps the focus on the inner lives of the central characters.
Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com
It's a brave performance from Hunt, who spends much of the film entirely naked. Both her and Hawkes are brilliant in a movie that is a massively uplifting experience.
Alex Zane-Sun Online
The movie becomes a touching, often funny portrayal of sex as a form of kindness and human contact.
Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
Hunt is a prodigy. No other actress could have brought such easeful transparency, such a glow of givingness, such heedlessness of glamour each time she strips naked.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
Not only does it deal with sex in a straightforward manner, but it also deals with the equally sensitive themes of disability and religion, all of which writer/director Ben Lewin pulls off skilfully.
Philip Concannon-The Skinny
The Sessions can be sugary, but it's likable.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
You could maybe see it working as a play, though the tactile detail of these scenes needs close-ups on the actors' faces to communicate what the transaction means to them both.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
It's tender, humane and funny and superbly acted; a simple but affecting parable about experiencing life to the fullest.
Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express

The Source Family was a radical experiment in '70s utopian living. Their outlandish style, popular health food restaurant, rock band, and beautiful women made them the darlings of Hollywood's Sunset Strip; but their outsider ideals and the unconventional behavior of their spiritual leader, Father Yod, caused controversy with local authorities. They fled to Hawaii, leading to their dramatic demise. Years later, former family members surface and the rock band reforms, revealing how their time with Father Yod shaped their lives in the most unexpected ways. (c) Official Site

Alex and Nica are young, in love and engaged to be married. The summer before their wedding, they are backpacking in the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia. The couple hire a local guide to lead them on a camping trek, and the three set off into a stunning wilderness, a landscape that is both overwhelmingly open and frighteningly closed. Walking for hours, they trade anecdotes, play games to pass the time of moving through space. And then, a momentary misstep, a gesture that takes only two or three seconds, a gesture that's over almost as soon as it begins. But once it is done, it can't be undone. Once it is done, it threatens to undo everything the couple believed about each other and about themselves. -- (C) IFC
Building on the terror of A Haunting in Connecticut, this horrifying tale traces a young family's nightmarish descent into a centuries-old Southern hell. When Andy Wyrick (Chad Michael Murray, House of Wax) moves his wife Lisa (Abigail Spencer, TV's "Mad Men") and daughter Heidi to an historic home in Georgia, they quickly discover they are not the house's only inhabitants. Joined by Lisa's free-spirited sister, Joyce (Katee Sackhoff, TV's "Battlestar Galactica"), the family soon comes face-to-face with a bone-chilling mystery born of a deranged desire...a haunting secret rising from underground and threatening to bring down anyone in its path.
