A powerful tear jerker.

June collapses early one morning and is rushed to hospital. Her son and two of her daughters are given the news that her health has taken a turn for the worse. Eldest daughter Helen arrives, and the siblings' deep problems quickly surface.Most companies have the idea that Christmas films should be uplifting, heartwarming or fun. Not Netflix. Their idea of a Christmas film is a family feud at the bedside of a woman in hospital.I didn't love it, but I did like it. For many, it'll perhaps be a little too close to home. It's reflective, almost painful, but there are some humorous moments and realistic elements too. Grief does strange things - fear and guilt can make people selfish and cruel, often forgetting the person at the centre of events.The script is very good, with natural dialogue and interactions. June is very ill, but still sharp and full of plain speaking. Connor is adorable, a caring, sweet-natured son who's always there. I could easily have locked Molly in the operating theatre. Johnny Flynn is at his best, and fair play to Andrea Riseborough too - so good.Helen Mirren - what can you say? Only a few months ago she was cracking murders in 'The Thursday Murder Club', looking amazing. Here she presents an entirely different character, and her acting is on another level.I loved the scene where Jules and Molly finally have to confront one another, and the ending naturally had me in tears. Winslet, Spall, Colette - all on point. You have to credit the casting director for such a strong ensemble.Nice to see a positive presentation of the NHS. I'm not sure Hallmark will be pinching this formula for its syrupy Christmas films next year. Perhaps it would have been better suited to a random Saturday in August.Sad, quiet, reflective - a Christmas film very much unlike any other.8/10.

Goodbye June

I've been waiting for the release and finally this movie is here. It's not an Oscar worthy movie and what I love the most that it's not trying to be one. I'm absolutely sure that this movie has it's audience because it portrays very well how a family should say a sweet goodbye to one of it's members. It reminds me of the Netflix's movie "His Three Daughters" (2024) which is also a low budget film which is filled with complicated family dynamics. "Goodbye June" is more complex and has more to offer. I'm very glad that Kate Winslet got a chance to work with Toni Collette (I remember her saying wanting to work with her). Except for being a cast member Kate is also a producer and the director of this movie. Also worth mentioning that her son Joe Anders is the writer, he's 22, imagine that! With that being said I can say that the script is good, the acting is great and the overall experience left a positive impression.

Strong performances and good directorial debut

Well done to Kate Winslet on a strong directorial debut. And of course her acting was just right, restrained and yet as always, generous, so that you connect with the character. Really good performances from a stellar cast. And how Kate Winslet directed those kids was a feat in itself. I think the script was ok, I had a flashback of Finding Neverland where the children put on a show for the terminally ill character played by Winslet. None- the-less there are so many terrible xmas movies around that this was worth watching. I look forward to seeing more of Winslet'a directing. PS the editing was really good - a snotty journalist likened the film to an extended John Lewis advert - well, their editing is impeccable too.
