A somewhat, slow and intimate portrait of an uncle and nephew getting to know each other a bit better. Phoenix’s character is filled with potential, but I felt that the learning that the nephew gains isn’t truly matched in emotional depth for Johnny. It’s filled with thematic potential too, but there’s no real emotional payoff - or that potential payoff doesn’t work. The black and white photography doesn’t add to it. Overall, it’s a lot of wasted potential. Great performances from all though.

As a dad of three kiddos, C'mon C'mon did not tap deep into any of the core emotions I've experienced as a parent; it merely scrapes the surface. I'm disappointed as I do think it had the potential to do much more. Certainly, there were many aspects I could relate to but in the end, I did not feel moved or enlightened or anything at all really by how Johnny and Jesse's relationship was captured. Even the mother's perspective on parenting failed to strike a chord with me.
Maybe it was all too plainly relatable and these are just feelings and struggles I've already spent enough time replaying and resolving in my own head.
The best moments of the film, for me, were the interviews conducted with the other kids. 1 year 6 months ago
