MOVIE REVIEW: Junebug
Overview: An art dealer travels from Chicago to North Carolina to meet her new in-laws, challenging the equilibrium of this middle class Southern home.
If you like your movies to move slowly and wonder about introducing quirky characters and never knowing where it's headed, I recommend Junebug. One of the best little movies of 2005, Junebug gives us a great glimpse into the lives of southerners without resorting to stereotypes.
There are many wonderful things about this movie but the best is Amy Adams as Ashley. She's nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress and rightly so. She's super and really makes the whole movie work.
Priceless Scene: Every scene with Amy Adams. Of particular note is the basement scene where she tries to motivate her husband.
