This would be the complete opposite of a traditional Doom movie. No sword fights. No Dance Numbers. No blood spitting. Not even the hallucinatory event. Even the nudity made me uncomfortable.
The Sessions is the story of Mark O'Brien who had Polio as a child and has to spend the rest of his life in an Iron lung. Despite that, he graduates from Berkeley with a degree in English. He gets the job to write an article about the sexuality of the severely handicapped. This leads to his own journey to relieve his viriginity. Enter Helen Hunt as the sex therapist.
The film is very small in scope. It has some humor. The scenes with William Macey as the priest are quite good. Helen Hunt is a great actress but I now know I don't need to her naked. Nor Adam Arkin for that matter. If I wanted to see flab and gray body hair, I can just go look in the mirror.
This was one of those adult themed movies that rely on character and story rather than effects and fury.

So much for the flickr badge idea. Dammit
