Less enchanting than its predecessor, 'Disenchanted' gets by on the charm of Amy Adams.
seeks to demystify psychotherapy by taking people inside his own sessions in “Stutz,” a simple but emotionally affecting documentary that takes the form of several conversations between Hill and his therapist Phil Stutz. Shot in a soft, lovely black-and-white, the film is both the story of one beloved doctor’s life — from how he developed his methods early in his career to how he copes with Parkinson’s now — and a candid look at Hill’s self-doubts as a person and an artist.
“Stutz” is often heavy and unsettlingly honest; and its therapy-speak is thick, in ways that may be hard for people who’ve never had that experience to penetrate. But the two men also crack jokes together, and they express a genuine affection for each other that is heartwarming. This film has a worthy goal: to change the perspectives of people who might be hurting right now. For those willing to go with its flow, it has a real power.
Rebecca Halpern’s energetic, in-depth documentary “Love, Charlie: The Rise and Fall of Chef Charlie Trotter” covers the highs and lows of the man’s career — including the lawsuits he settled with disgruntled employees and the financial hits he took when the economy tanked. The movie comes across as a kind of mystery, with no clear solution.
Co-directors Tamana Ayazi and Marcel Mettelsiefen take a “you are there” approach to Ghafari’s story, plunging viewers into the mounting chaos as the end of the American occupation approaches. This choice robs the film of some context. We don’t learn much about how the government or politics work in Afghanistan; and there’s very little in the way of historical background.
