A 38-year-old man who has spent most of his life in an iron lung enlists the help of a sexual surrogate in order to lose his virginity in this drama starring Oscar-nominated actor John Hawkes and inspired by the life of poet/journalist Mark O'Brien. With the support of an unconventional priest (William H. Macy) and a devoted team of caretakers, the virginal writer hires a compassionate sex surrogate (Helen Hunt), who finds her life profoundly transformed by their tender sessions. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

You'd have to possess a heart of stone not to be moved by Mark O'Brien's story. Can't imagine being offended by it in any way.

this is a hard movie to watch because it is true story and the main character is in an iron lung, so sad. very well acted, Helen hunt is nude and looks good for a 50 yr old.

I ;think it is too bad this movie did not get more notice..I thought it was amazing..well acted, sensitive and touching. I think some people may find this movie very emotional and want to avoid it because it can evoke powerful feelingsand the subject matter is difficult. I give it 4+stars. (I am a psychotherapist and I assure you that what was depicted here is real.).

Yes   |   No


JOSEPH C.

Can't add anything to the critics' well-deserved praise for this film. It's four stars.
