Summary
Jonah Hill directs and appears in a documentary about Phil Stutz, the Los Angeles psychiatrist who has been his own therapist for years. Shot in black and white and staged largely as a two-person conversation on a bare set, the film has Stutz walk through 'the Tools,' the hand-drawn visual exercises he devised for patients - Part X, the Shadow, the String of Pearls - while Hill serves as both interviewer and case study. Stutz talks about his New York upbringing, his work as a prison psychiatrist at Rikers Island, and living with Parkinson's disease. Partway through, Hill turns the camera on the making of the film itself and on his own reasons for wanting it.
Stutz (2022) is a film IMDb files under the documentary genre. Its country of origin is listed as the United States. Its certificate is TV-MA. It runs 1h 44m.
Only 62 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 70 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 37 of whom clear the calibration test. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 7,929 2020s films, not against the whole corpus.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Stutz lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 62.
