Review of C'mon C'mon (2021) by Jimmyspeaker — 06 Dec 2021
Joaquin Phoenix delivers (yet again) another incredible performance, this time taking up the relatable, emotional role of "Uncle Johnny". With strong performances from Gaby Hoffman and Woody Norman, C'mon C'mon serves as another great example of Phoenix's explorations into the indie genre.
In an interesting decision, the film is black and white - which emphasizes the film's dialogue and emotion. With beautiful cinematography of New York City and New Orleans, and a comforting but dynamic score, C'mon C'mon is a daring, beautiful performance.
There were points where the underlying philosophical messaging felt a bit too obvious or "pushy", but the loud messaging is balanced by the thought-provoking scenes and dialogue by which it is delivered.
A24 delivers yet another promising cinematic experience in C'mon C'mon.
