Benicio Del Toro plays a post-traumatic, migraine not-too-happy patient, while Mathieu Amalric takes on the role of the sympathetic, non-traditional psychotherapist in Arnaud Desplechin’s first foray into English-language territory. An oddly subdued, oddly titled Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian) almost lands with a thud among our critics panel – with many matching the film to Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master for how the epoque stands out, and by comparison, I think its safe to say bears little resemblance to Desplechin’s previous numbers (apart from the heavy dialogue and his usual muse Amalric).
