Goodbye June review: Kate Winslet’s directorial debut is a warm family drama that lacks depth | Movie-review News

Goodbye June review: It’s a moment worth celebrating that one of the finest contemporary actors–Kate Winslet–makes her directorial debut with Goodbye June, as well as acts in it. The movie, written by her son Joe Anders, is a sappy and poignant movie centered around a much-adored matriarch, who is hospitalised some days ahead of Christmas. The matriarch June, played by Helen Mirren, is the glue who keeps the family together in spite of their differences. Her sudden hospitalisation and deteriorating health due to cancer relapse bring the four siblings and their exasperated father together. This also reveals the messy family dynamics and resentments. As the film is soaked in the pre-Christmas vibes, one gets the feeling that these issues will be sorted out and they eventually do. However, the process of how that happens is not as engaging for the viewers as it should have been.
