If you loved C'mon C'mon, try Thumbsucker
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Mike Mills, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to C'mon C'mon, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Thumbsucker is
Teen life with a thumb habit isn’t exactly cinematic gold. Justin Cobb navigates thumb-sucking, crushes, and an ADHD diagnosis in Oregon. At least it avoids the usual coming-of-age schmaltz.
