Directed by Ben Lewin, this critically acclaimed film takes audiences on a profound journey that intertwines humor, vulnerability, and the beauty of the human spirit.

Based on a true story, The Sessions follows the life of Mark O'Brien, a poet and writer who spends most of his life confined to an iron lung due to polio-induced paralysis. Brilliantly portrayed by John Hawkes, Mark seeks the help of a sexual surrogate, Cheryl Cohen-Greene, played by Helen Hunt. With the guidance of Cheryl, who is a professional in the field, Mark embarks on a journey to experience physical intimacy for the very first time.

John Hawkes delivers an exceptional performance as Mark O'Brien, capturing both the physical limitations and the indomitable spirit of this remarkable individual. His portrayal is heartfelt and deeply moving, earning him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Helen Hunt also shines in her role as Cheryl, delivering a poignant performance that balances compassion, strength, and vulnerability.

The Sessions also features outstanding supporting performances from notable actors such as William H. Macy, who plays a warm and endearing priest named Father Brendan. Macy's portrayal adds an extra layer of emotional depth to the story, as Father Brendan becomes a confidant and a source of guidance for Mark.

The film's intimate and tender moments are beautifully complemented by the music composed by Marco Beltrami. His score enhances the emotional impact of each scene, evoking a range of feelings from joy to sadness and everything in between.
