My wife and I watched a little indie film last night called "Junebug". It was a quirky, odd, entirely character driven movie set in North Carolina. Amy Adams, Alessandro Nivola, and Celia Weston starred; Adams made this before she became famous ala Disney's hugely popular and successful "Enchanted". This movie involved the homecoming of a young married couple to NC from Chicago; the wife (Embeth Davidz) is chasing down a NC folk artist she wants to represent and is meeting her in-laws for the first time. Amy Adams, as the very pregnant, cute, and somewhat childish Ashley is the only family member to welcome her openly, and she nearly steals every scene she's in. There's lots of family issues like love, jealousy, anger, fear, loss, etc., and the idea of one son being the "golden boy"(Nivola, in this case). The new wife struggles to understand his family and their ways and tries to fit in, and all the while trying to sign the artist she's after; the husband seems to quickly revert to the old environment. There are no easy or pat answers to some of the issues and not everything gets resolved. It is well written and realistic, with interesting camera work, and very well cast. Shot in and around Winston-Salem, NC, which adds to the realistic feel. Worth a look and discussing afterward, as we did.
