Two amazing films have come out in the last few months, we’ve had Kenneth Branagh’s semi-autobiographical drama Belfast, and we have Mike Mills with C’mon C’mon.

What can I say about this movie that hasn’t already been said by various critics and audiences alike, it’s not only a great film it’s a fantastic one at that, the film stars Joaquin Phoenix as John, a documentary maker travelling various cities such as Detroit, New York City and New Orleans.

Tagging along is John’s nephew Jesse, now I’m going to stop right here and talk about this particular character because critics have been raving about this kid, “future star in the making” “he’s going to be big” “remember this name because he is going to be taking over Hollywood”

Jesse is played by newcomer child actor Woody Norman in quite possibly one of the best acting gigs he’s done (being it’s his debut) his character is played so well that during the 108 minute runtime, you sympathise a lot with this nine year old.

Basically his father is suffering from bipolar disorder and is receiving treatment for it, hence why he’s tagging along with John helping interview kids.

Now these segments involving these children are nothing short of remarkable because these children are not actors… they are real ordinary children which I have not seen done in a movie before… ever. Some of these questions and answers that are given is quite honestly very intriguing, such as “what do you think the future will look like”

It’s a fantastic movie that I predict should do quite well at this years awards season, from BAFTAs to Oscars and SAG Awards, you name it it’ll be a massive awards contender.

10/10 for this one, it’s a great movie, acting is brilliant specially from the young actor, Joaquin Phoenix does a really good job as well here too, cinematography is brilliant I should also mention too.

Until next time catch ya later 🙂
