Leave your thoughts about Jimmy P..
| Movie MezzanineTy LandisThe sterile process that the film is fixated on is admirable, but Jimmy P. rarely gets at anything engrossing or interesting about its characters. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfSolid work from stars Benicio Del Toro and Mathieu Amalric lubricate the movie's hunt for understanding, but overlength tends to erase the effort's achievements in the end. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzThe movie offers the most psychologically complex screen portrait of a Native American character in at least twenty years, probably more. |
| Time OutKeith UhlichDel Toro and Amalric’s concentrated performances — the former resigned and shell-shocked, the latter agitated and servile — have an anguished grandeur. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitFocuses on the playing off of two actors in the developing of rapport and empathy between two very different human beings. |
| New YorkerDavid DenbyThis intelligent movie becomes a gentle reproof of prejudice and ignorance, and I wish I could find some excitement in it. |
| IGN MoviesMatt PatchesThe fine lead performances by Benicio del Toro and Mathieu Amalric are the highlights of the artfully crafted, fact-based drama Jimmy P., which tries (sometimes in vain) to make psychotherapy cinematically intriguing. |
| Montreal GazetteT'Cha DunlevyThe French director overcomes melodramatic tendencies in the early part of the movie to settle into something more subtle and interesting -- the tête-à-tête between two excellent actors fully inhabiting their roles. |
| What CultureSimon GallagherAt its heart a tale of redemption, played through a culture-clash dynamic as the French analyst and his patient build a relationship, and it's hard to resist the similarities with The King's Speech. |
| Village VoiceStephanie ZacharekThis is a superb, engrossing picture, strange in all the right ways, and one I long to see again. |
