In writer-director Mike Mills’ (Beginners, 20th Century Women) warm and insightful family dramedy, Joaquin Phoenix (You Were Never Really Here, SWIFF’19) plays Johnny, an emotionally stunted and soft-spoken radio journalist who travels the country interviewing children about their thoughts concerning their world and their future.
His sister, Viv (a marvellously intuitive Gaby Hoffmann), asks Johnny to watch her 9-year-old son, Jesses (breakthrough and best youth performance winner Woody Norman). After some reluctancy, Johnny finds the new connection slowly breaking down his emotional barriers.
Anchored by three remarkable actors, and shot in creamy black and white, C’mon C’mon is a gentle and impeccably crafted drama about the connections between generations, understanding the past, and facing the future.
