In The Sessions, John Hawkes stars as a quadriplegic man named Mark
O'Brien who spends his nights and part of his days inside an Iron
Lung. Despite these difficulties, Mark manages to attend
college and get a degree. He also works as a writer. One day he gets
a writing assignment to do a story on disabled people and their sex
lives. Intrigued, Mark decides to investigate what would
happen if he himself tried to have sex. Rejected by his
current caregiver (Annika Marks) for that off menu assignment, Mark
turns to the services of a sex surrogate named Cheryl Cohen Green
(Helen Hunt). Will God give His blessings to this rigged
sexual encounter? Tune in and find out. Four stars.
