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.

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

Kyle M Jonah Hill’s returning gratitude excels his goal in bringing a mostly engaging, ideally reflective and insightful therapy session from his titular therapist whose life shows profound analytical roots as their conversation is deeply honest with some strays due to non-appliance. (B+) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/14/25 Full Review Andreea R The fact that not all psychotherapists have Mr. Phil’s gentleness… it hurts my soul. From the very first seconds, you can feel he is a kind person — you just want to step through the screen and meet him, talk to him. Without a doubt, this is the best documentary — it’s meant to be watched with your heart, not just your eyes. Because it speaks in a way that everyone can understand, and his advice truly makes you stop and say: ‘Wow… this really hits.’ This man and this documentary are simply a dream. Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. With love from Romania! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/25 Full Review Ryan M This movie was really bad. Usually i like Jonah hill but man this movie is 96 minutes I'll never get back. Save yourself some time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/12/25 Full Review Geke g Speechless!💕 i think everyone must see this one Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/24 Full Review Munkhchimeg T Worth it to watch it again. I love this movieee Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Mariana R la peor persona q conoces va a terapia religiosamente Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
