C'mon C'mon
Johnny (Joaquin Phoenix) and his young nephew (Woody Norman) forge a tenuous but transformational relationship when they are unexpectedly thrown together in this delicate and deeply moving story about the connections between adults and children, the past and the future, from writer-director Mike Mills.
Critic Reviews:
- " Mike Mills mined his own life experiences once again and the result is an intimate portrait of an unconventional family. Boasting strong performances from Joaquin Phoenix and Woody Norman who genuinely tug my heartstrings. " – Ruth Maramis (FlixChatter Film Blog)
- " A journey across America in lustrous B&W conducting interviews with youth about the future, builds bonds between a young boy and his sad and solitary uncle, Joaquin Phoenix an unlikely father figure but it works. " – Jane Freebury (Jane Freebury)
- " A tender tale of cross-generational bonding slowly emerges, shot in moody monochrome, and the film is made doubly touching by Mills's unforced direction and Phoenix's mellow lead. " – Kevin Harley (Radio Times)
