C’mon C’mon with Mike Mills | Picturehouse

Sam Clements talks to writer-director Mike Mills about his new film, C’mon C’mon, in cinemas from Friday 3 December. Johnny (Joaquin Phoenix) is a softly-spoken radio journalist stuck in arrested development. His work travelling the country to interview kids is interrupted when he’s suddenly responsible for one: his young nephew Jesse is placed in his care by his frazzled, frustrated sister Viv (Gaby Hoffman), unable to cope as she nurses her mentally ill partner through an episode. But Jesse brings with him a new perspective and, as the unlikely pair travel from state to state, effectively turns the emotional tables on Johnny.
