Playing in the rain one day, she meets the eye of Juan Diego (Oscar Guerrero), a struggling immigrant, whose gaze and bashfulness enchant her. Earnest and sincere, he too is taken by her beauty and radiant spirit. Prodded by Henry, who narrates our fable, these two lonely outsiders come together and begin a delicate romance. With the love and kindness of Juan Diego, June confronts distant family tragedies and finds the strength and courage to fly away to freedom. -- (C) Official Site

Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
Once again, the premature loss of a loved one begets family dysfunction in the strangely uneven, yet occasionally resonant "Around June."

David Noh, Film Journal International
This study of the interactive lives of a bunch of dreamers-although the cynical might dismiss them as mere losers-is sensitive to a fault, but not much fun to watch.
