      Stutz

      R Released Nov 4, 2022 1 hr. 36 min. Documentary TRAILER for Stutz: Trailer 1 List
      96% 23 Reviews Tomatometer 96% 1,000+ Ratings Audience Score Phil Stutz is one of the world's leading psychiatrists. He's helped countless patients over 40 years, including world-class creatives and business leaders, and among them many therapy-skeptics. Directed by friend and patient Jonah Hill, the film explores Stutz's life and walks the viewer through his signature visualization exercises, The Tools. As Hill sits down with Stutz for an unorthodox session that flips their typical doctor-patient dynamic, they bring The Tools to life in a humorous, vulnerable and ultimately therapeutic experience. Featuring candid discussion of both Stutz's and Hill's personal mental health journeys, alongside the lighthearted banter of two friends from different generations, the film beautifully frames The Tools and the journey toward mental health in a manner that's accessible to anyone -- whether or not they are actively seeking help.

      Mariana R la peor persona q conoces va a terapia religiosamente Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Nicolas Definitely a journey where you will learn great tools for your life ahead. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/02/23 Full Review Harry S It starts off pretentious: black and white, close ups of Jonah and Stutz's contemplative faces, camera gently moving etc etc. Then after 20 minutes or so they reveal the green screen and Jonah admits that it's all fake and they've been filming over two years but pretending that it's all been done over one afternoon, and that it isn't working and the only way to move forward is to do things honestly. Great, I thought, as it was really boring me otherwise. Somehow 10 minutes later they go back to black and white and continue exactly what they just said they were going to avoid from now on. I read someone saying it felt like a documentary more for Jonah than for us, and that rings true to me. Therapy 'tools' are introduced one after the other without background as if all created by Dr Stutz, when many are basically just renamed from other sources. That doesn't mean they don't work, just it gave me the feeling that this was more about creating a guru out of Dr Stutz than providing any help to anyone. The two weirdest bits for me: a) bringing Jonah's mum out for an incredibly awkward 5 minute cameo where Jonah explains he is not attacking her but also tells her she 'eats up air'; and b) Jonah asking Dr Stutz if he thinks his Parkinson's can sometimes be used as a crutch by him, and Dr Stutz acting as if this is some incredibly profound idea that he hadn't previously thought of... Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/18/23 Full Review Tomasz K Really worth watching Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review C L I've been gestalt therapy and works for prominent psychiatrist and have friends or psychiatrist. That being said I thought it was amazing. I love the idea that a psychiatrist gives you actual tools and doesn't sit there and say how does this make you feel? How are you feeling on this? What are your thoughts? No , we need their thoughts they're professional help and I was blown away. My mother has Parkinson's had Parkinson's, and to hear somebody speak candidly about how it affects you not just physically but emotionally and their brutal honesty. I, I think it's one of the best documentaries I've ever seen and it gives you a huge take away something that you can use in your own life I loved it . My only regret is I don't live where he lives, Dr. Stutz and I can't afford his therapy sessions but this was huge and I hope it does catch on . It's got something everyone can take away from this and we can improve our lives together as one. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review Colt 0 Might be the most pretentious movie I have ever seen. I can't even understand the level of douche-baggery you have to be at to think the "tools" presented in this movie would help anybody. Complete joke of a movie.

      Noel Murray Los Angeles Times This film has a worthy goal: to change the perspectives of people who might be hurting right now. For those willing to go with its flow, it has a real power. Nov 18, 2022 Full Review Dan Einav Financial Times Instead of a stagy one-sided interview, we’re treated to an honest conversation about mental health and human flaws between two men who share a touchingly warm bond. Rated: 4/5 Nov 18, 2022 Full Review Lisa Kennedy New York Times Hill’s nods to filmmaking tricks add to the sense we’re sharing in something authentic: a portrait of affection. Nov 15, 2022 Full Review Mira Fox The Forward Stutz has a strange amount of bravado for a therapist, talking frequently about his natural talent for therapy and the way ideas spontaneously come to him...especially with his invented vocabulary, he comes off more like a cult leader than a therapist. Rated: C- Aug 2, 2023 Full Review Dan Buffa Dose of Buffa Instead of just being another documentary, Jonah Hill’s courageous film opened its doors and just let the audience in. Much appreciated. Highly recommend. Rated: A Feb 8, 2023 Full Review Mark Jackson Epoch Times Actor/director Jonah Hill honors his psychiatrist. A great introduction to the world of therapy, and an opportunity to see what kinds of things a world-class therapist, who genuinely cares about his patients, can bring to the table of your life. Rated: 4/5 Feb 5, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
