Description
Itinerant radio journalist Johnny (a perfectly understated Joaquin Phoenix) agrees to help out his sister (Gaby Hoffman) by looking after his young nephew Jesse (the amazing Woody Norman) while she deals with her ex-husband’s mental problems. When work demands a visit to New York, Johnny suggests he take Jesse with him—and we are off on one of the tenderest, most insightful, and most genuinely delightful road trips to be taken in the cinema this year.
‘Mike Mills’s passionate, documentary-driven drama… spotlights the onscreen chemistry of Joaquin Phoenix and the astounding young actor Woody Norman…The result is a film of an extraordinary amplitude; it’s both poised and frenetic, contemplative and active, heartily sentimental and astringently contentious, intensively intimate and expansively world-embracing, exactingly composed and wildly spontaneous.’—Richard Brody, The New Yorker.
