Mike Mills' ‘C'mon C'mon': A24 Aiming for Sundance 2021 Premiere

IndieWire’s Anne Thompson, always reliably in-the-know, is hinting that director Mike Mills’ upcoming “Cmon Cmon” may very well premiere at next January’s digital edition of the Sundance Film Festival.

Starring Joaquin Phoenix, the film is said to be about a documentary filmmaker working with his nephew on a project involving gifted children all in the while dealing with his bipolar father’s struggles with the disorder. The film also stars Gaby Hoffman, Jaboukie Young-White, Woody Norman, and Elaine Kagan.

Mills, whose last film was the excellent “20th Century Women”, will unite with Oscar winner Phoenix in this much-anticipated film that was ready for release in 2020 before being totally scrapped out of A24’s slate due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mills’ career was ignited back in 2005 with his peculiar debut “Thumbsucker,” before going back to the snowy Park City mountains in 2011 with “Beginners.”
