The Sessions is definitely a movie worthy of recognition. According to me the best movie should have consisted of this and Moonrise Kingdom instead of Les Miserables and Beasts Of Southern Wild. Helen Hunt truly deserves her nomination as she plays a potentially tricky character, that of a sex surrogate with a sense of uncluttered ease. But according to me the movie belongs to John Hawkes who is simply sensational as a man who is paralyzed due to polio and has to live in an iron lung. It is truly puzzling as to how he didn't get an Oscar nomination for his performance.
The script by Lewin is also brilliant and should have been nominated for adapted screenplay. The dialogues are also memorable my favourite being when Hawkes meets a stranger in the hospital and tells her that he is Catholic because he would find it intolerable not to blame his condition on anyone. This movie is a triumph in all aspects and uses raw emotionalism to captivate the audience. The final scene of the movie and the dialogue with it is potentially one of the best I have seen in terms of the invoking relentless barrage of emotions in viewers. Do watch this movie.
