Junebug produces mixed feelings. The acting was pretty fantastic, even the kid from the OC (
Benjamin McKenzie) was great, and all the characters were convincing - except George who is kind of in the background for most of the movie. A lot of the movie is predictable, and it is somewhat slow. My interest was never really lost, but by the end of it, only a feeling of 'blah' remained. The enviornment was set up quite nicely with long cuts of every empty room in the quiet house, but if it wasn't for chipper Ashley it would have been too drab. I would not watch this movie again, but props to the acting and the quiet Dad who you might fall in love with (the bird at the end is a cute touch).
