Mark Bourne, Film.com
...one of many reasons to love Junebug is how often it offers us spaces to fill in ourselves, the faith it shows in handing us small puzzles -- Eugene's hand-carved bird, for instance -- to chuckle over or think on afterward.

Susan Walker, Toronto Star
A quiet journey into the heartland, and the heart.
-
Kathy Cano Murillo, Arizona Republic
Thanks to Adams' performance and strong story, it makes for a mildly entertaining Southern-fried experience.
-
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
The adult tensions and the tone take us to a place remembered so vividly that even if we don't know this corner of the South, we've somehow lived there or at least passed through.
-
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Brimming with bright dialogue, complex characters and moments of sheer aching sweetness, it's Chekhov with a side of red-eye gravy.
