Description

The Sessions (2012) dramatizes journalist and poet Mark O'Brien's decision to work with sex surrogate Cheryl Cohen Greene while living with the effects of polio. John Hawkes and Helen Hunt star with William H. Macy in Ben Lewin's compassionate R-rated drama.

Lewin wrote and directed the 95-minute film, which opened in Los Angeles and New York on October 19, 2012. As of October 29, 2026, OnlineTVcast found only a Cinemax add-on route plus rentals and purchases, so no qualifying supported U.S. base-plan or free ad-supported offer is shown.
