(1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 93% Fresh Page   1   "While it's very clear that she adores George, the visit exposes the mysterious fragility of their marriage."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 2.5/4 "Junebug is a Southern class struggle played out in small, with Amy Adams the brightest star among these delicate -- and often misunderstood -- flowers."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   David N. Butterworth 3/4 "...the honesty with which [the film has] been imbued is generally difficult to resist."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair A "Amy Adams gives a standout performance that's worthy of Oscar consideration."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 3.5/4 "A warm and honest gem of a movie, frequently laugh-out-loud funny in surprising and genuine ways, and quietly touching without forcing obvious emotions on the viewer."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 3/4 "Junebug is the older, wiser sibling of home-for-the-holidays family melodramas like Pieces of April."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez A- "Rich with details both humorous and sad.... Deeply satisfying."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B+ "An artfully simple, quietly perceptive movie...one of the most honest, revealing portraits of familial love and friction to hit the screen in years."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "A couple's new marriage is tested on a visit to the groom's family in North Carolina where traditional values hold sway."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "In the end, we not only believe in the men and women populating the film, but feel along with them. By offering that experience, Junebug has done its job."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "The humor here is expectedly quirky but it feels earned thanks to writer MacLachlan and director Morrison's honestly rendered observations of family and small-town life"   Perihelion Journal   Jay Antani '3.5/4' "Southern living feels indescribably delicious in this languorous ode to small-town dysfunction."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 9/10 "The movie cuts deep with its realistic portrayals of human strengths, weaknesses, and relational dynamics."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 4/5 "click to read review [Greek]"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 3/5 "It's a soft and tender portrait of the funky south with splashes of color, notably Amy Adams in a balls-out performance."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery A "...a true American original...a small miracle that marks the emergence of a truly unique new filmmaking team...this entire ensemble just clicks"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 3/5 "Morrison and screenwriter Angus MacLachlan put an unusual spin on the old chestnuts, playing them straight -- well, almost straight -- and letting the subtle, knotty humanity shine through the surface tics and traits."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh C "What’s abundantly clear is that Adams steals the film as the irrepressible Ashley."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer B+ "Delicately avoids Hollywood's typical condescending caricatures of those who dwell below the Mason-Dixon line."   Lessons of Darkness   Nick Schager 5/5 "Um filme que exige ser visto mais de uma vez, no mínimo para que possamos ter o prazer de rever atuações tão ricas em detalhes."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 4.5/5 "A beautiful, sensitive exploration of the strings that hold people together"   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C "I found most of the characters to be either uninteresting or annoying."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "The stereotypical outsider look into fundamentalist southern Christian world is a bit too clichéd but the small, capable cast makes the best out of it."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 4/5 "On paper, Junebug might sound like something you've already seen a dozen times. But movies aren't made on paper, silly."   DVD Clinic   Scott Weinberg 8/10 "A gem of a gentle, contemplative drama, filled with the joy and sadness that comprise all of our lives."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 3.5/4 "As refreshing as a tall glass of iced tea with mint on a hot summer's day, Junebug is one of the year's most beguiling films."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 3.5/4 "Restores some of the lustre to the indie dysfunction genre."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 28) of 28 OFCS Rating: 93% Fresh Page   1
