Critic Reviews

Junebug is a great film because it is a true film. It humbles other films that claim to be about family secrets and eccentricities. It understands that families are complicated and their problems are not solved during a short visit, just in time for the film to end. Families and their problems go on and on, and they aren't solved, they're dealt with.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Amy Adams in a performance as deep as it is delightful, is the film's heart and also its flaky, wonderstruck soul.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

Manages to be one of the genuinely fresh discoveries of the summer, a little gem that deserves to become a big sleeper hit.Full Review

Ann Hornaday
Washington Post

A deceptively simple, deeply resonant story about the inherent loneliness of family, the odds against assimilation and the enormous distances that can divide two people.Full Review

Carina Chocano
Los Angeles Times

It's hugely entertaining, it's spectacularly acted, and it pricks you in all kinds of places. Maybe the best thing is to see it and let it bug you, too.Full Review
