Sessions, The
horizontal line

While witty, sensitive, polio-stricken, San Francisco poet Mark O'Brien (John Hawkes), who spends most of his time in an iron lung, touches the lives of many people, including a compassionate priest (William H. Macy), his assistants (Moon Bloodgood, Annika Marks, W. Earl Brown, Rusty Schwimmer, et al.), a sympathetic disabled friend (Jennifer Kumiyama), and a hospital volunteer (Robin Weigert), in this poignant, touching, heartbreaking, candid, well-acted film, which is based on Mark O'Brien's article On Seeing a Sex Surrogate, he dreams of being loved by a woman and losing his virginity in 1988 with the help of professional sex therapist Cheryl Cohen Greene (Helen Hunt), who is married to her understanding, but jealous philosopher husband (Adam Arkin).
