"a serious movie about mental health
care with a light touch." Facilitator: Dr. Sylvia Huang
Actor, Jonah Hill,
sits down with his friend and therapist, Phil Stutz. In this Netflix
documentary, Hill 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.
