The movie is one of those films that beautifully encapsulates life experiences, but breaks your heart in a way that you don’t immediately want to revisit it. Read full review

I prefer to think of Juniper as chamber music—muted, soft, with a certain ache that lingers. Read full review

In the end, it’s a story about family coming together in the last moments of a loved one’s life and facing death with not only dignity but with honesty as well. A touching story. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreFeb 21, 2023
Actor turned writer-director Matthew J. Saville’s debut feature makes for a dry, unemotional blend of dark comedy and co-dependency, scenic but desultory, even when Rampling is at her best. Read full review
