Based on the poignantly optimistic autobiographical writings of California-based journalist and poet Mark O'Brien, The Sessions tells the story of a man confined to an iron lung who is determined - at age 38 - to lose his virginity. With the help of his therapists and the guidance of his priest, he sets out to make his dream a reality.

The Sessions becomes a dance of joy in the midst of severe challenge, and a movie with a light spirit that lifts a tale of heavy fate. -- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

John Hawkes does the kind of acting that awards were invented for in this exhilarating gift of a movie that's funny, touching and vital. -- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone 

"The Sessions" is a pleasant shock: a touching, profoundly sex-positive film that equates sex with intimacy, tenderness and emotional connection instead of performance, competition and conquest. -- Stephen Holden, New York Times
