This Friday sees the release of the Sundance breakout hit, director Ben Lewin's The Sessions. Starring John Hawkes as a man in an iron lung, the story follows his journey on a quest to lose his virginity at 36. With the help of a sex therapist (Helen Hunt), the movie sounds like a farce of sorts. With Hawkes acting predominantly with his head attached to a stretcher, is it possible for this film to get some traction at the Oscars, or will it just be a sympathy grab for the disabled protagonist?
