Critic Reviews

The Times Tom Shone

Dec 15, 2025

It’s a wonderfully raw, moving and funny film about sibling niggles and family heartbreak, filled with biting humour, button-sized observation, noisy kids, frayed tempers and armpit farts. In short, a perfect movie to watch with your family as you contemplate the looming festivities. Read full review

Overall, Goodbye June proves Winslet is just as talented onscreen as she is calling the shots, bringing a raw approach to this already emotionally-driven story. Through her thoughtful direction, the ensemble is able to deliver a convincing portrayal of a dysfunctional yet loving family dealing with potential loss and precocious grief. Read full review

The film is lovely in the graceful way it executes its unsurprising content, and the actors make it soar even at its most predictable. Read full review

If the emotions in Goodbye June are as transparently manufactured as the fake snow that falls outside of the hospital windows, they’re all bundled up in a warm blanket of truth — the truth of how loss has a gravity that can bring a family closer together if they let it. Read full review

The story, about a dying matriarch and her stricken adult children, paints by numbers with stock characters and cloying scenarios. Read full review

A cast this good would have a hard time delivering something less than watchable, and Goodbye June is watchable, even if little of it works. Read full review

Needless to say, the actors are better than the material. Read full review
