Reviews
- "Poetic and bittersweet, C'MON C'MON is a special film, one that asks us to recognize the mistakes we make, the people we wound, the feelings we hurt, and to maybe give ourselves a break in the process and hold on for what better future tomorrow may bring."
- The Playlist - "One of the most deeply reflective American filmmakers working today, Mills is a storyteller with a baring, raw sense of honesty, unafraid of abruptly burst emotions."
- RogerEbert.com - "The character complexities grow out of Mills’ divinely extraordinary writing."
