Stutz Reviews
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+)
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!
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.
Speechless!💕 i think everyone must see this one
Worth it to watch it again. I love this movieee
la peor persona q conoces va a terapia religiosamente
Definitely a journey where you will learn great tools for your life ahead.
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...
Really worth watching
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.
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.
So precious and enchanting. It's nice to see the complicity and admiration they both have for each other. Learning from them how to improve my mental health was the best thing a documentary could have given me.
I love you Jonah. Just watched the early premiere for stutz 2 and I change my mind of Jonah Hill
The greatest piece of cinema ever created. I love Stutz. I can't wait for Stutz 2.
This documentary was so eye-opening to how our psychology/brains work. It has very dark and light humorous moments which make it flow very well.
Surprised by the rave reviews. It was slow and dull. Having lifelong depression, I finally found a great therapist with whom I have been working for two years. I actually look forward to meeting with him and leave his office feeling better. So much progress has been made. Dr. Stutz's "tools" may work for his (mostly) celebrity clients (who pay $400/hour) but I found them ridiculous. It's as if he pulls random thoughts out of the air and presents them as clinically meaningful. Some people may buy into that but I find it comical.
This movie was beautiful and so helpful! I loved the tools they use, especially the one with gratitude and another with loss. I cried a lot and watched it a couple times. The universe had some kind of plan with the two of these guys coming together.
"Cualquier crisis psicológica o existencial es, efectivamente, una oportunidad de crecimiento y evolución personal. Para ello hay que utilizar las "herramientas", las cuales activan esas fuerzas internas que todos tenemos y que debemos desarrollar. Stutz las ilustra de manera pedagógica en el documental…" Si te gusta saber tu mente cómo se comporta, este documental es de gran ayuda
I loved Jonah Hill's take on creating this film. This was courageous and uplifting.
This was a powerful film! Thank you Jonah Hill, for sharing this valuable experience with the rest of us…
