Film Review – Outcome

Actor Jonah Hill made his directorial debut with 2018’s “Mid90s,” finding inspiration from youthful days of camaraderie and social group exploration, making an appealingly loose picture. He returned with the documentary “Stutz,” highlighting his relationship with his therapist, and Hill returns to psychological matters in “Outcome,” which takes a look at a Hollywood star enduring a personal crisis after decades of life in the public eye. Hill co-scripts with Ezra Woods, and he appears to be pursuing a special emotional journey with the endeavor, which touches on the process of making amends and testing the power of honesty with others. It’s also a profane, riff-happy comedy, with Hill’s initial intent for the offering extremely confusing. His message is lost in a painfully unfunny and unenlightening feature, as “Outcome” (which was shot two years ago) fumbles its potential from the opening scene, sending viewers through a baffling study of recompense and silliness with an all-star cast.
