A modest little movie that rises to the ranks of minor masterpiece, Junebug is one of the most critically acclaimed and loved films in recent memory, and the performance that put Amy Adams’ star squarely on the map. Great writing and an interesting plot make this book well worth reading. But more on that later. It’s about a newly married couple from Chicago, George and Madeleine whose whirlwind courtship hasn’t left much time to get to know each other beyond their intense romantic and physical passion. If the character of George (slyly portrayed by the riveting Alessandro Nivola) is a study in elusiveness, his family is decidedly not. The collaboration on Junebug with writer, Angus Maclachlan, serves up a place and its people finely crafted, with nuanced dialog whose gems are more muttered than pronounced (except in the case of Ashley, who announces her every thought with bright-eyed excitement).

No it's not great literature, but it's a story of a girl in a strange place in life, and I found it to be a decent coming-of-age book.

In Junebug, his use of long establishing shots (of the street, the house, the pines) affectionately evoke the geography and tempo of the rural South compared to the big city beat of the Urban Midwest.

They meet at Madeleine’s ‘outsider’ gallery (she features untrained artists whose works speak of naturalistic, raw and primitive talent) and a week later, marry. She’s not like that inside.” Pause. But more on that later. On a certain level, this rings true in the film as we see that George no longer belongs to the place and the people who raised him. On a certain level, this rings true in the film as we see that George no longer belongs to the place and the people who raised him. George’s parents Eugene and Peg (perfectly cast in veteran actors Scott Wilson and Celia Weston) reflect a completely believable marriage via the simplest exchanges and expressions which convey a lifetime of joys, sorrows, and the normal markers of family life. Amy Adams is so dazzling and translucent in her capture of this buoyant character that you can’t take your eyes off her, and her immersion in the role makes you forget the superstar she’s become, she’s that good.

It’s immediately clear, for example, that George is the apple of his mother’s eye and the ‘golden boy’ of not only his family but the God-fearing community he left behind. In the pantheon of breakout roles, Amy Adams’s work on Junebug is resplendent, and she’s always referred to as ‘stealing the picture’ but despite how true that feels, it’s reason is because of the hidden natures of the rest of the characters.
