Helen Mirren shines as the indomitable June—a matriarch whose sudden health decline pulls her four estranged adult daughters back to the snow-dusted childhood home they thought they’d left behind. Kate Winslet, Toni Collette, and Andrea Riseborough deliver powerhouse performances as the siblings: each carrying old wounds, unspoken resentments, and the heavy baggage of who they became away from one another.

Set during a bittersweet holiday season, the house creaks with memories—laughter echoing in empty rooms, arguments simmering over faded photo albums, tender moments flickering like candlelight amid the grief. Tensions crackle with raw honesty, but humor slips through the sorrow like sunlight on frost, reminding us that families are messy, flawed, and fiercely connected.

This isn’t just about loss—it’s about forgiveness found in quiet conversations, love rekindled through small acts, and the painful beauty of saying goodbye while finally seeing each other clearly. Mirren’s graceful strength anchors the storm, while the ensemble weaves a tapestry of emotion that’ll leave you reaching for tissues… and maybe calling your own family.

A moving, masterful drama that proves even in farewell, bonds can heal. Goodbye June feels like a warm hug wrapped in heartbreak—essential viewing for anyone who’s ever loved a complicated family.
