Joaquin Phoenix plays Johnny, an affable, soft-around-the-edges radio producer who listens to people for a living but struggles to communicate in his personal life. He hasn’t talked to his sister Viv (Gaby Hoffmann) for a year – things have been frosty for longer – but, when he phones on the anniversary of their mother’s passing, he unexpectedly offers to travel to LA and chaperone Viv’s son Jesse (Woody Norman) while she is out of town.

Through Johnny and Jesse’s interactions, Viv’s calls home and snippets of her attempts to help Jesse’s father, Paul (Scoot McNairy), with his mental health, Mills constructs a delicately observed tapestry of complicated relationships. Foremost of these is the bonding of Johnny and Jesse, during which Johnny learns the demands and dilemmas of parenting. (Credit: BFI)
