Even though C’Mon C’Mon finished filming before March 2020, there’s something about the film—the latest from director Mike Mills (20th Century Women, The Beginners), in theaters now—that feels spot on for the times we’ve just lived through. Perhaps it’s because the film deals with separation among family members, attempts to connect from afar, and our struggles to realize that the problems of others can be just as monumental as those we face ourselves—but there’s a quality to the film, which stars Joaquin Phoenix, Gaby Hoffmann, and Scoot McNairy, that makes its arrival feel right on time.
