Movie Description
Giving an art-film aesthetic to a touching family drama, director Phil Morrison and screenwriter Angus MacLachlan present their first feature, which was shot in their hometown of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The film is set in nearby Pfafftown and Pilot Mountain, and location is itself a character in the film as long sequences of soundless photography show rows of houses, or rooms in a house, or stretches of farmland--capturing the essence of this area of the South.


Successful, cosmopolitan, and adorable Chicago couple Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz) and George (Alessandro Nivola) meet at a fancy art auction where she is working as a dealer, and they are married six months later. Madeleine is recruiting an outsider artist, and she travels to rural North Carolina to meet him. George accompanies her, as he is originally from Pfafftown, and though it has been three years since he visited home, Madeleine insists on meeting his family. When she does, she finds herself in a world totally different from her own, and sees a new side of her husband. His mother Peg (Celia Weston) and father Eugene (Scott Wilson) are quiet homebodies who aren't sure what to make of Madeleine's sophisticated career and lilting British accent. George's deadbeat brother Johnny (Ben McKenzie) never finished high school, and lives at home with his young wife Ashley (Amy Adams), who is naive and bubbly--and very pregnant. While the family's simplicity, traditional values, and religion make them suspicious of Madeleine, Ashley is the one bright-eyed spirit who is happy to have Madeleine as a sister-in-law and celebrates her marriage to George. JUNEBUG is an effecting film that sheds light both on the always-surprising nature of in-laws, and the unique culture of the South.

Editorial Reviews
"[Amy Adams gives] a performance as deep as it is delightful. She's the film's heart and also its flaky wonderstruck soul."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (08/12/2005)

"Embeth Davidtz is engaging...and Amy Adams is a revelation..."
Movieline's Hollywood Life - Stephen Farber (07/01/2005)

"There is a gentle, contemplative quality to this film...which explores the bonds and tensions within this Southern family in an honest way. Davidtz is luminous and Nivola does a fine job as George….JUNEBUG has the feel of a good short story or novella."
USA Today - Claudia Puig (08/12/2005)

Included in Entertainment Weekly's Top Ten Films Of The Year -- "At last, a comedy of family dysfunction that's soulful and moonstruck instead of glib and reductive."
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman (12/30/2005)

"[A] slow-burning, acutely observed comedy of manners....Morrison's emphasis is firmly on character and dialogue..."
Sight and Sound - Geoffrey Macnab (03/01/2006)

4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he cast relish the dialogue's sure ring of authenticity..."
Uncut - Leslie Felperin (04/01/2006)

4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] fridge-humming study of domestic banality, sibling rivalry and intellectual mistrust..."
Total Film - Stuart McGurk (09/01/2006)

3 stars out of 5 -- "[Adams] is the film's real point of interest, incorporating both humour and pathos into the role of a put-upon young mother."
Ultimate DVD - Natalie Braine (09/01/2006)

"Amy Adams didn't get star billing in this small, superb film....Yet there was no way to miss the startling fire and special grace that she brought to the role..."
Wall Street Journal (03/13/2009)

      SOUTHERN COMFORT
    Review created: 03/31/07
    by:
    7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

    A sophisticated globetrotting gallery owner (Embeth Davis) trying to sign on an eccentric but brilliant painter takes a trip to South Carolina to visit with him personally. Taking along her new husband George (Alessandro Nivola), the couple combine business with pleasure and take the opportunity to visit with his family (mom and pops, his younger brother, and the bright bubbling sister-in-law who is just about to give birth). Thus the stage is set for Junebug, a touching family drama shining with observations of small town family and life. The ensuing interchanges between the newcomer Madeleine, her new husband's family, and the community are quiet yet moving, with realistic portrayals of human strengths and weaknesses and relationship dynamics.

    The cast in this southern ensemble is absolutely outstanding, with Amy Adams giving a heartfelt and amazingly affecting performance as the sister-in-law Ashley, who welcomes the newcomer with open arms. Celia Weston portrays Peg, the protective mother who can't quite warm up to the newest family member (it doesn't help that Madeline calls her "Pat" several times before Ashley gently corrects her). Scott Wilson as the father Eugene is a quiet, reserved, but kindly character who roots for his new daughter-in-law in his own quiet way. Benjamin McKenzie (The O.C.) delivers a fabulous turn as the younger brother who resents that his older brother made it out of the stifling environs of their small community. He breaks out of sullen boorish behavior unexpectedly at one point when attempting to capture on tape something that would make his wife happy, but is unable to do so and reverts back to his rude self when his wife asks what's troubling him.

    The ensuing plot is slightly predictable, but still charming and heartfelt. The portrayal of Southern Christian life is somewhat cliched and stereotypical, but allows it to define the difference with Madeleine's sophisticated upbringing. The new wife is given an opportunity to see her husband within the context of his childhood community, which often surprises her (during one gathering, the husband is called upon to sing a hymn a capella, which he does with incredible tenderness and grace). During a baby shower for the pregnant Ashley, the women are stumped by the gift of an antique sterling silver baby spoon from Madeleine and George (Peg huffs that it looks like it needs to be tossed into the dishwasher). During their stay Madeleine spends time trying to cajole her eccentric painter into signing up with her gallery, which coincides with a family crisis. George sees her "abandonment" of the family as a mirror image of what he himself has done by leaving the community for new territory. By the end of the visit, it's a changed couple who get back into their car to head back into Chicago. This is a top notch effort by Phil Norrison and is a charming, bittersweet gem that must be visited.

    PROS - Stellar cast with top-notch performances; bittersweet, moving story with comedic touches.

    CONS - Cliched stereotyping.
