Review of C'mon C'mon (2021) by Compi24 — 11 Dec 2021

Writer/director Mike Mills's ode to the awkward, quirky ickiness of starting families and raising children, "C'mon C'mon" sees Joaquin Phoenix at his most tender and vulnerable, acting alongside the brilliant newcomer Woody Norman in some truly winsome bouts of borderline familial chemistry between the two actors.

The pacing was a bit trying for me throughout most of the film's slightly indulgent length, with some of the stylistic elements also coming off as somewhat self-congratulatory at times (an issue I've had with another one of Mills's films in the past).

All in all, though, the film's spirit is pure, making for a consistently adorable watch.
