  Review by davidehrlich ★★★

  I’m a writer. When my dad died, I seized on writing a eulogy as my best chance to process his loss — potentially messy and egoistic as it was, I could either make a florid spectacle of my grief or risk letting it fester inside me even worse than it was always going to. Jonah Hill is a filmmaker (among other things), and when his older brother Jordan suffered a fatal embolism in December of 2017, I suspect that Hill felt a similar instinct to express himself the best way he knew how.

  Likewise, I suspect that he faced a version of the same dilemma that confronts anyone who can only access their most private feelings by airing them in…

  Pausing and rewinding a dozen times just to absorb the man’s ideas. Powerfully introspective and meaningfully meta.

  Review by Thomas Flight ★★★½ 2

  Pretty early on Jonah Hill articulates an anxiety to the effect of "maybe a client making a movie about his therapist is a terrible idea" and it's definitely one that's fraught with complication.

  How well this film does at Hill's stated goal of communicating therapeutic tools to viewers I can't really say; while Stutz puts his own unique spin and delivery on things, almost everything here is something I've already encountered in my own therapeutic journey and reading about psychology.

  What this film definitely succeeds at, is portraying the kind of warmth and love that can exist in a therapeutic relationship at its best. You really can get a sense for why Jonah has been so profoundly impacted by his relationship with Stutz.

  It's messy and imperfect, and that's part of the fun of course. Props to Jonah for getting vulnerable and being a pro-therapy voice in pop-culture.

  Review by The King of Burbank ★ 24

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Stutz is a cruel display of an unethical power dynamic peddled as a respectful tribute to a vital medical process. Jonah Hill disguises his film as a story about a patient wanting to learn more about his doctor. That lasts about thirty minutes before he shatters that illusion and reveals his actual intention, to fix his therapist. 

  For a film that’s supposed to be a love letter to therapy, it egregiously violates the social contract of the profession. Stutz more often than not acts like he’s being held captive and it often feels like he is. What is this guy supposed to say when this millionaire actor decides that his meta take on his mental health process needs to be…

  I would’ve loved a podcast going through Stutz’s tools, and I would’ve loved a movie about two men with grief. I feel like I got half of each.

  it’s cute and thought provoking! I was expecting to feel a lot more conflicted about it considering some of the criticisms i had read about it, but to be honest i don’t really agree with those people at all. 

  Here’s a shocking fact: Documentary about therapy includes vulnerable moments and people having trouble opening up. That’s natural, i think we have all experienced this countless times in our lives. Never once did i feel like the therapist was being pressured into doing this by his “rich and famous client”. This is a grown ass man with a cock and balls. I’m sure he was probably at first a little bit uncomfortable on camera at first but that happens to everyone…

  Making a documentary about someone just because you love them.
