About this movie

Johnny (Joaquin Phoenix) and his young nephew (Woody Norman) forge a tenuous but transformational relationship when they are unexpectedly thrown together in this delicate and deeply moving story about the connections between adults and children, the past and the future, from writer-director Mike Mills.

Ratings and reviews

I thought for sure this would be one of my favorites of the year, but it just fell flat for me. The cinematography is beautiful, I will say that. But the performances and script left me wanting more. Also, I had just watched 'Saint Frances' the week before and it was almost identical except I thought SF was a much better film.

Incredible touching film. Cinematography and acting are both 10/10. There is some documentary peppered into the movie, with Phoenix and other cast interviewing real children in different cities across America, which I found to be a great juxtaposition to what was happening in the film. Phoenix, Gabby Hoffman, and Woody Norman had great chemistry too. I also loved how the dialogue seemed very “real” throughout the movie—the dialogue was written in a way that people actually talk.

This movie is iconic! If you love Joaquin as much as I do, I definitely recommend watching! Not to mention, Woody Norman's brilliant preformance! 100 out of 10! Wonderful acting, beautiful film!
