Goodbye June (2025)

This movie has a lot of star power with three women actors that I love (Helen Mirren, Kate WInslet, and Toni Colette) in the starring line up. The story is not unique--a dysfunctional family gathering around the death bed of the mother and having to try to resolve long held grudges on a timeline out of their control. There is the hyperfunctioning sister who is all about the adulting, the younger sister who has got a mother Earth thing going on, the Yoga and Crystals sister, and the failure to launch brother. As the movie progresses the onion unpeels. It is more wooden than you would hope, but there is a lot to learn and think about and hopefully Winslet the director will improve.
