Junebug

Fuzzagi

Amy Adams play the wide-eyed Southern charm to perfetion in a short but breakthrough performance!

Portraying realistically the lives of town families, this drama features a standout performance by Adams that helps the film from drowning in misery.

quiet, colorful and meaningful. Somewhat made me uncomfortable because of the truth its trying to tell. Some people just couldn't tell the things what they want to say, and some people are just incapable of loving. Yet others do exactly the opposite and hold the true meaning of family.

Art, community, class, gender and faith explored with a deft touch. The arc of the narrative is a delight, as characters come to terms with each other's true nature through new (or old) contexts. Strange and beautiful.

Junebug was a typical Sundance entry with an indie soundtrack, a small budget and a NY-meets-the-South plot. It would be long forgotten now were it not for Amy Adams's breakout performance as the gabby, warm-hearted Ashley (it also has the late Scott Wilson's best role). The characters are all well drawn-out and there are none of the crude stereotypes seen in lesser works about the US South (eg Three Billboards).

Susana Bessa

One of the loveliest most underrated films on a family led by all these rules and emotional restrictions, hiding from themselves and causing an unbearable inertia for all the rest. It imitates life in its natural sad high-tension atmosphere, but most especially when it sees itself on the brink of collapse due to contrasting backgrounds. Moreover, its cast is committed and somewhat brilliant, especially Miss Adams.

There's nothing more annoying than watching a movie, getting distracted, and in the process not feeling the whole thing. This makes me want to apologize writing this. Regardless, there's a lot of good acting involved. I gotta give it to Ben McKenzie for portraying an absolute douchebag, he was that believable. Great performances by Amy Adams and Embeth Davidtz. Though sadly, I couldn't enjoy this.

Amy Adams! every line that she speak is great. and maybe this can make essence whole film: Eugene:"That's just her way. She hides herself. She's not like that inside." And two more words: "Like most."
