Somehow "Stutz" manages to be vulnerable and distant at the same time. The last scene where Stutz and Jonah Hill acknowledge that they have gotten closer feels rational, not emotional.
Above all, the movie is about their relationship (between S and J) and not so much the stated-purpose of sharing with the world some tools that Stutz taught Jonah Hill.
Hyper-rationality... I struggle with it too... like always trying to cement the healing process into communicable words. Likewise with relationships. Sometimes they can't be. In this way, the film doesn't succeed. It does a bit more tell than show.
