Stutz

This is a movie about relationship with some therapy and teachings.

Although the movie does include some of the tools of Stutz and some "demos" of them, this movie is not a self help type of a documentary. The heart of the movie lies in the relationship between Phil and Jonah.

I think it is good movie for all of us to watch for reminding of some basic truths about life and how minds work or can work. Overall though it is slight taste of these modern style therapy lessons and ideas.

Technical aspects of the film are all top notch, brilliant look on the film and very good structure and flow. There are few clearly forced parts, but they are not that distracting.

I recommend everyone watch this movie. I respect Jonah Hill so much for making this, especially in todays climate, and also for being a MALE raising awareness on the tremendous help and importance that therapy provides. There are so few resources available to people who need mental health support, and many of those resources available are crazy expensive or therapists are booked solid with clients. This film is for everyone. We all struggle sometimes. This made me cry, laugh, and take notes. I will go back to this movie every time I feel the need for a therapy session. It also reminded me of my relationship with my counselor that I went to for ten years. Bless Jonah and Stutz. What a gift of a film.

I don't go to therapy. But this was kind of like going to a therapist. I paused it at several points to think about my answers (for instance my shadow). It made me think a lot about things I haven't let myself focus on and it was helpful to address those things internally and this gave me an outlet to do that. I appreciate the honesty shown by both Jonah and his therapist. Great job, great film. So rare to see truth captured like this I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it. Even if therapy isn't your thing I recommend giving this a shot I think it would surprise even the biggest cynic. The tools given are really life changing again I'm super grateful this was made.

This is a beautiful film. The goal of helping people by sharing Stutz methods, has at least in my case, been met. I love that the film actually contains tools and actions that a person can use. As you watch, you can follow along with exercises that Stutz asks Jonah to do. The relationship between Jonah and Stutz is really special and as a viewer it feels like you're seeing them both so vulnerable and intimate. There is a real sense of honesty throughout. I also really enjoyed the visual aspects of the film. The film also has the perfect amount of humour. I will be rewatching this film and would definitely recommend it.

I have struggled immensely with my mental health over the past 12 years and on a lesser scale the other 29 years of my life. I have had countless therapy sessions, more often than not with one of the sit there and listen, but don't contribute therapists Jonah and Phill discuss near the start of the movie and whilst they were great at allowing me to vent, the only therapists that truly made an impact on me, were the ones who would have an actual conversation with me, call me on my issues and help me explore ways I can improve my life.

Stutz is the perfect example of this method of therapy and I am so grateful for this movie and the wisdom it imparts on us.

Whilst the cinematography, editing and pacing of the movie are all great, what makes Stutz truly remarkable is the vulnerability and truthfulness found within Jonah and Phill's relationship. You can really feel the openness, love and respect between these two people, which allows us as the viewer to be honest with our own answers to the questions posited throughout.

I doubt either of them will ever see this comment, but to Jonah and Phill, if you do see this, I just want to say, thank you. I related to so many of the stories and thoughts that you both shared and even found myself crying when responding to some of the questions you asked. I hope that this reaches as many people as possible and that people gain as much from it as I have.
