The Sessions by Ben Lewin. This is a film were pretty much everything you can appreciate about it is right in front your face thorugh comedy, directing and writing. And honestly, it's kinda confusing how John Hawkes didn't get an Oscar nomination for this, because this is one of the better performances in the year.

In this film, he plays Mark O'Brien, a man paralyzed from the neck down because of polio. What follows on screen is his struggles with romance, and eventual decision to hire a sex surrogate. Aside from the fantastic performance from John Hawkes, this is a film that I'm mostly appreciate for its subject matter. I mean, most people simply wouldn't tackle this type of story, just because they don't have the balls. What it tried to do, it was successful at, and I'm glad it understood what its capabilities were. It's crowd-pleasing, heartfelt, and somewhat dramatic, but mostly, it's a comedy. 1And its respectable that they were able to make one out of a somewhat serious subject matter without it seeming immature or insincere.

If you're looking for entertainment with minimal interpretation, then I have no issues recommending this to you, and I hope you enjoy it.
