C’mon C’mon
Having excavated his past in Beginners and 20th Century Women, Mike Mills looks toward the future with this compassionate, cathartic story about listening to and learning from the next generation. Shot by acclaimed cinematographer Robbie Ryan in luminous monochrome, C’mon C’mon follows radio journalist Johnny (Joaquin Phoenix) as he volunteers to look after his sensitive nine-year-old nephew, Jesse (Woody Norman), while his mother, Viv (Gaby Hoffmann), Johnny’s sister, deals with a personal crisis. As Johnny’s work takes him across the country—from Los Angeles to New York to New Orleans—he forges a bond with Jesse that proves surprisingly transformative. Turning his own experience of fatherhood into soul-enriching art, Mills offers a graceful meditation on caretaking and the connections that sustain us.
