September 14, 2009I?d wanted to see this for so long but unfortunately, It was not worth the wait. Amy Adams is great but she is let down by the rest of the cast and the lame story! See it just for her performance.

May 28, 2009Maybe there are people like this in the world, maybe I don't care. Junebug is such a banal film with such little ambition that it's hard to think of good or bad things to say about it. Nivola and his new wife Davidtz, go to see his parents. It's kind of like Meet the Parents, but...( read more)

March 19, 2009A unique portrait of a lifestyle that might seem foreign to many audiences. I loved it! And Amy Adams gives one of the best performances I've ever seen.

November 14, 2009Classico film indie (!), con classici personaggi indie (!!!) bizzarri e pazzi e inverosimili, cioè, mai più pure questo.
Meno male che almeno c'era Amy Adams, bravissima come al solito. -
October 19, 2009It was actually a little dull. I definitely sympathized with Ashley character, Johnny and Peg both had to grow on me, and I ended up not liking George at the end.
Plus, SPOILER ALERT, I didn't like how the movie ended unresolved. My movies don't always have to have perfect happ...( read more) -

September 5, 2009Amy Adams was really good. A little fuzzy on what the film was about. "You got the acid reflux?"

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Junebug is a textbook case of filmmakers who can't make up their minds about their characters; it's a failure of nerve disguised as dramatic ambiguity. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Junebug has the feel of a good short story or novella. full review

David Edelstein, NPR's Fresh Air
It's hugely entertaining, it's spectacularly acted, and it pricks you in all kinds of places. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Junebug is a great film because it is a true film. It humbles other films that claim to be about family secrets and eccentricities. full review
