Review For The Sessions | |
| 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 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 Three days after viewing, the film's questioning generosity and sense of perspective will still be knocking around your head. Paul Fairclough-Little White Lies The Sessions finally proves that Hollywood can take physical incapacity and/or sex far more seriously than it does the potential side effects of shooting so many people on screen so often. Graham Young-Birmingham Post A touching gem of a movie largely thanks to subtly dynamic performances from Helen Hunt and John Hawkes. Tim Evans-Sky Movies Hugely enjoyable, warm-hearted and frequently laugh-out-loud funny disability drama with a superb script and a pair of terrific performances from John Hawkes and Helen Hunt. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Lewin, who has fought his own lifelong polio battle, handles tricky material with a gentle, empathetic touch. Guy Lodge-Time Out 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.
