❝If a man keeps taking these things, as time goes on they pile up and one day it gets to be too much. Like you said. It pulls out in the weakest part of the body. It's like... pounding, in one spot. And that spot will be my head.❞

Jimmy P. was an interesting look into the early days of psychoanalysis, and it was especially interesting to see how Jimmy's Native American background played such a huge role in his recovery. It was also visually beautiful, featuring vast, bright landscapes contrasting with the bleak hospital setting, and the main cast of Benicio del Toro and Mathieu Amalric, especially the former, did brilliantly; the stereotypical clichés that Hollywood unfortunately uses were rejected by Jimmy in the film, and del Toro was instead just an ordinary soldier suffering as a result of his war experience. Despite his great performance, though, I do think that the role of Jimmy should've been played by a Native American actor. The pacing of the film was a little slow, while the final act felt rushed, but overall, if you're interested in psychology in clinical situations, I'd recommend giving this a watch.
